At the first meeting of the Frontex Scrutiny Group with Leggeri and Johansson yesterday, mr. Erik Marquardt addressed following question to @YlvaJohansson directly accusing a member state,Greece:
“We have discovered”- Who is he referring to as “We” Mrs @YlvaJohansson ?
@YlvaJohansson you answered on member state Greece: “I am very concerned that we have repeated from reliable sources on illegal, sometimes violent pushbacks.” @MargSchinas@PrimeministerGR@EP_Hellas Is 🇬🇷to be openly accused in that manner by @YlvaJohansson & on what ground?
Mr. F. Legerri @Frontex in his concluding remarks points out the factual situation on 🇬🇷 borders, the “3rd country”
& I will add your reliable source @YlvaJohansson - you are openly siding with the “3rd country’s” propaganda against 🇬🇷national security.
🧵
In 🇩🇪 organisations with links to the MB are under observation by the domestic security service, the Protection of the Constitution off (BfV).However, the movement is not prohibited in 🇩🇪 so it has space to spread its influence through infiltration strategies or “entryism
“Formation of Umbrella Organizations
Brotherhood associations are often difficult for politicians to see in 🇩🇪 and even when they are noticed the primary interest of politicians is to keep this from the public to avoid reputational damage, rather than expose MB entryism.”
The end result is that Islamist organizations get to posture as victims, rather than purveyors, of discrimination and racism; these groups get to pretend to be simply organizations representing regular Muslims and migrants; and any criticism is attacked as “anti-Muslim racism” 👇
🧵The 🇮🇷 Abtin Parsa, self-proclaimed anarchist refugee in 🇬🇷 who among other, asked with his posts on social media and anti-authoritarian websites from the anarchist movement to arm the immigrants in Evros because "bullets are the only way to open the borders for all immigrants"
He states:”True resistance will never be possible without a vigilant and militant proletarian movement, this is a fact that the proletarian movement in Greece has been dead for 20 years, and in my view the reconstruction of the militant proletariat 👇
can be the only way we can truly resist the repression of the regime; A big part of the proletariat today in Greece are immigrants, so this is the reason why I struggled to organize the immigrants from the beginning.”indymedia.nl/node/48907

«Γεωστρατηγικά, το σύστημα Ελλάδα-Τουρκία έχει ζωτική σημασία για την ανάσχεση της ΕΣΣΔ προς τον Νότο, τόσο από τη θάλασσα όσο και από την ξηρά. Ελέγχει, από την Μαύρη Θάλασσα, τα Στενά των Δαρδανελίων και το Αιγαίο, 👇
τη μόνη θαλάσσια δίοδο της ΕΣΣΔ (Ρωσίας) προς την Ανατολική Μεσόγειο, την Μέση Ανατολή και την Βόρεια Αφρική. Από την ξηρά οι δύο χώρες σχηματίζουν έναν ενιαίο χώρο, από τα Βαλκάνια μέχρι το Ιράν, ανακόπτοντας την πρόσβαση της ΕΣΣΔ στην Μέση Ανατολή. 👇
Connecting the dots
In March 2010, members from the EPP, S&D, ALDE, Greens/EFA and ECR groups founded “Friends of Turkey” in the European Parliament. 77 MEPs joined and were active members during the 7th legislative term
2009-2014, Alojz Peterle (EPP) chairman of the group
09.2014, group re-launched, new co-chairs Artis Pabriks (EPP) and Ismail Ertug (S&D)
Friends of Turkey is conceived as a platform for discussion where MEPs can contribute to the improvement of EU-Turkey relations
Is there more?
The group organizes formal and informal meetings with European and Turkish officials and it has served as a platform for high-level discussions including all the different actors involved in EU-Turkey relations.
Laura Batalla Adam is the current Secretary General of the group.
