A quarrel between Moroccans in Palaio Faliro yesterday morning resulted in an immigrant being slightly wounded in the head. The injured is called Hassan and is from Pakistan. He describes what happened, "I was sleeping when suddenly I was hit on the head with a stick by a Moroccan. Last night some were drunk and began to quarrel with each other. I do not speak their language and do not know why they hit me," he says.

Wounded Hassan, who received first aid from nobody

"My head burst and bled. There were no police inside. I went outside and said what had happened, and showed the wound. There is no doctor. I was told to go to a police station to report on the case so that they could do something there and that there was a hospital in Piraeus where I should go," adds the foreigner. However, Hassan does not know the area and as he states, there is nowhere to go to report the case and to receive medical aid. "I am better now and the wound is less painful than yesterday. Fortunately, it has stopped bleeding," he said. As for his story, he says the following: "I came to Greece with my brother and a friend of ours. We want to leave Greece and look for a job in Europe, but we are trapped here."

"Bad" migrants - in Corinth  
 
Meanwhile, in an attempt to relieve the situation, the government is applying the tactics of other European countries, dividing migrants into "good" and "bad". The first category includes refugees coming from places where there are hostilities (Syria, Iraq, Eritrea, the Central African Republic) and who are entitled to asylum. It is planned to move them to Elliniko. The second category includes economic migrants, such as Moroccans who are transported to the centre for migrants in Corinth.

According to sources, this tactic will be applied in the future, the main criterion being the country of origin of each foreigner.

Meanwhile government spokesperson Olga Gerovasili has denied the rumours of the centre for migrants in Amigdaleza reopening, saying that "We will no longer see Amigdaleza," acknowledging, however, that there will be "guarded centres" for migrants.

In addition to all this, two buses full of migrants arrived in the Greek capital from Idomeni on Wednesday. The first one arrived at 3:00 pm and the second at 5:00 pm, but no decision has been taken on the fate of these people.
