National Elections 2019 | The parties respond to questions on integration

In light of the forthcoming parliamentary elections, Generation 2.0 RED, in collaboration with Vouliwatch, put forth a series of questions to all the democratic candidate parties regarding specific immigration and refugees related integration policies in Greece.

The choice of questions was based on (a) the issues we have been working on the past few years and which we deem outstanding (b) the programs of the political parties as they have been made public so far. The motive behind this initiative is the fact that any discussion on “immigration” moves de facto either with a negative or with a positive predisposition but with vague references.

In this way, we hope to highlight the issues that afflict a large number of people living in Greece and yet are not mentioned and we look forward to a commitment on the outlined issues.

Of the 17 candidate parties to which the questionnaire was sent, the following replied (in alphabetical order): KINAL-The Movement of Change, KKE-The Communist Party of Greece and SYRIZA-The Coalition of the Radical Left.
