@richardhorton1 This extends well beyond the NHS and the UK. UK leads in healthcare and science over many, many follow the UK. We have had such argumentation and actioning -or rather lack thereof- across many EU countries exactly because of the line followed and advocated for by the UK. @kgapo
Support for Greek efforts to protect the European borders. Closely monitoring the situation on the ground.
I will be visiting the Greek-Turkish border on Tuesday with @PrimeministerGR Mitsotakis.
Ο Π/Θ και το ΚΥΣΕΑ έπραξαν το σωστό.Η στήριξη και η ομοψυχία αυτή την στιγμή είναι εθνικά αναγκαία.Κριτικη και φιλοσοφίες εκ του ασφαλούς δείχνουν άγνοια του εθνικού κινδύνου και άγνοια του εθνικού συναισθήματος.
The EU and its institutions should support the Greek government and its latest decisions. I call on all the European leaders to cooperate closely with @PrimeministerGR. It’s in our common interest.
No one can cross the Greek borders. All those attempting illegal entry, are effectively prevented from entering. Numbers cited by Turkish authorities are entirely false and misleading.
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Sunday that Greece was determined to protect is borders and warned migrants not to “attempt to enter the country illegally as they would be returned back.” #GreeceUnderAttack#EU#Europe#Lesbos https://t.co/9wIDxsb4pz #lesb

Pleine solidarité avec la Grèce et la Bulgarie, la France est prête à contribuer aux efforts européens pour leur prêter une assistance rapide et protéger les frontières. Nous devons agir ensemble pour éviter une crise humanitaire et migratoire.
Our national security council has taken the decision to increase the level of deterrence at our borders to the maximum. As of now we will not be accepting any new asylum applications for 1 month. We are invoking article 78.3 of the TFEU to ensure full European support.
