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

Episode Synopsis

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
