We have reached the point, and that is important, Greek society to feel full and proud, to feel joy and emotion, tenderness and not hatred for the different. And this is a great achievement', said Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, immediately after his visit to “Astrocosm” which operates at the facilities of TIF-Helexpo.
The prime minister saw refugee children from hospitality structures and Greek children playing together and having fun in a Christmas atmosphere, conversed with them, photographed and exchanged greetings.
The event was organized by the Ministry of Migration Policy, under the coordination of the Regional Coordination Office of Northern Greece and Epirus, with the undivided support of the Ministry of Macedonia-Thrace and the noble support of TIF-HELEXPO. The Minister of Immigration Policy was also present at the celebration for the refugee children, Yannis Mouzalas.
