H Greecewho watches with concern developments in the Middle Eastis in open communication with partners and allies.
With an eye on the economy
In addition to the escalation of geopolitical instability in the wider region, with what this means for security issues, the government is also “weighing” the problems that will arise from a new energy crisis, given that about a third of the world’s oil supply is produced in the region of the flammable Middle East.
Transport problems, supply chain disruptions in essential products and more. the subsequent rise in oil prices, along with those of natural gas, will inevitably lead to a domino effect of price appreciation in goods and services, pushing up inflation at a time when the government is expecting a de-escalation.
The war in Ukraine demonstrated precisely how and how much national economies can be shaken, as well as the need for coordination at the European and international level, to manage the effects of such a geopolitical crisis.
On “alert” for new flows of immigrants and refugees
In Athens and Brussels there is intense concern and a new “tsunami” of immigrants and refugees.
It is characteristic that Lebanon alone already hosts over 2 million Syrians and Palestinians, etc. refugees, and a generalization of the conflict in the Middle East will lead many more people to be displaced and seek a better life elsewhere.
“Evros is safe and this safety will continue to exist. At a time when the pressures are increasingly intensifying from our environment, we are dedicated to our duty to serve the security of the country, the borders, the Greek men and women”, said the Minister of Citizen Protection, Michalis Chrysochoidis, during the visit of on Wednesday at the deterrent barrier in Poros Feron. A visit that captures the vigilance that exists in the state apparatus just in case.
