The ministry of Migration and Asylum is looking for two sites to be used as temporary reception centres in Crete, since it anticipates an increase in the flow of immigrants to the island. The issue was raised by the minister Dimitris Kairidis in a meeting at the Chania Town Hall Hall on 1st April, where he was received by the mayor Panagiotis Simandirakis together with the deputy mayors for Social Policy Eleni Zervoudaki, and Finance and Digital Policy Tasos Aloglou.
