🎙️ Episode 8 — Greece’s Migration Crisis: The Shocking Reality Behind the Numbers

Listen Later

Greece is facing one of the most complex migration challenges in Europe — and the numbers reveal a crisis few want to talk about.

Only 1 in 3 asylum seekers in Greece receives approval. The problem?
The other 2 out of 3 often cannot return to their home countries due to unsafe conditions, lack of diplomatic cooperation, or ongoing conflict.

🇬🇷 This leaves Greece stuck in an impossible position:

  • Thousands of rejected applicants remain trapped in legal limbo

  • EU borders open in theory but closed in practice

  • Islands and local communities overwhelmed

  • A system that penalizes Greece for being the gateway to Europe

    In Episode 8 of The Greek Podyssey, we unpack:

    ✔️ Why so many rejected asylum seekers cannot be returned
    ✔️ How EU “open border” policies collide with national realities
    ✔️ What Greece can realistically do vs. what Brussels expects
    ✔️ Long-term demographic & political consequences
    ✔️ Whether Europe is leaving Greece alone to handle a continental crisis
