Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said that he will strongly raise the issues of migration and climate crisis at the European Council which will take place in Granada, Spain. 

“The European Political Community is an institution that allows all the countries of the European continent to discuss the burning issues that currently concern Europe,” Mitsotakis stated at his arrival for the 3rd Summit of the European Political Community on Thursday.

Mitsotakis said that he will insist on the need for higher resources from the EU budget concerning both issues. 

“I will again insist on the need to increase the EU budget during its upcoming revision so that more European funds are allocated to addressing such a crucial matter, which concerns all of the European Union,” he said. 

The Prime Minister said that the funds available from the European Solidarity Fund to address natural disasters are limited. 

“Greece will recommend the increase of these funds by 2.5 billion euros at least in order for the Europeans to know that Europe stands by them in any circumstances.”
