Amidst Safety Fears Lesvos Mayor Pleads with Government to Arrange Transfer of Migrants to Mainland

moria campThe mayor of Lesvos asked for the transfer of a large number of refugees and migrants from the island to mainland Greece, warning that conditions in the centers are “particularly worrying and dangerous” in an urgent letter to the Alternate Minister for Migration Policy Yiannis Mouzalas on Tuesday.
“We were witnesses to extensive fights inside the first reception center in Moria, with dozens of injured (migrants) and images that were broadcasted by many media, which are unfair considering the burden we’ve been called to carry all this time,”  Mayor Spyros Galinos said.
He also said that the local community is worried about the continuous increase in the number of refugees and migrants who are living on Lesvos, adding that the infrastructure available has been operating beyond its capacity for days.
