Greek prime minister makes border wall an election pledge
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis looks on as he waits for the arrival of Cyprus' new President before their meeting in Athens, on March 13, 2023.
GREEK Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis promised today to extend a wall along all of his country’s land border with Turkey as he opened his party’s general election campaign.
Mr Mitsotakis, who called the May 21 election earlier this week, was expected last night to sign off on his right-wing government’s decision to nearly double the length of the existing steel border wall over the next year.
The wall currently spans 25 miles and the government plans to extend it by about 22 miles in that time.
