‘Mama Merkel, open the doors!’ – refugees protest in Athens

Approximately 150 people took to the streets in Athens in front of the German embassy for refugee families. They chanted “Germany, Germany!” And “Mama Merkel, open the doors!” The action was attended by 14 Syrian refugees, as well as activists and refugee aides.

7 men and 7 women who are waiting on their own instructions for more than one year, in order to carry family members to Germany, announced a hunger strike in early November. They ask Greece and Germany to stop waiting time of a maximum of 6 months for the family reunification.
