Migration Ministry's Asylum Service

A joint European operation to repatriate  irregular migrants was organized on Wednesday by Greece along with Spain, Italy and Cyprus, in cooperation with the Hellenic Police and coordinated by the EU border agency, Frontex. 

Greece repatriated 20 Georgians and 28 Pakistanis whose applications for asylum had been rejected. 

Workers at the Migration Ministry's Asylum Service on Thursday declared an indefinite walkout over the ministry's failure to renew the contracts of 17 employees.
The union said that although the ministry renewed 629 contracts through April 2021, these 17 employees had been "deliberately" left out.
