Local Germans waited to receive crowds of migrants coming in this week. Some handed out water and sweets. The new arrivals were quick to board buses and be taken to a processing facility in Bavaria.
Outside, the city’s Registration and Aid center had queues full of tired refugees.
CCTV’s Roee Ruttenberg filed this report.
More details:
- 2,500 people successfully made the trip, and arrived in the capital’s Port of Piraeus. Some spoke of the violence back in places like Lesbos in the Greek isles.
- Many here will make their way north, through the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, and onto central and Western Europe.
- In France, former French President – and conservative opposition party leader – Nicolas Sarkozy, said Europe should be processing migrants and refugees outside of the EU’s borders.
