The state’s expenditure as far as refugee policy is concerned will rise to 91 million euros, says Interior Minister
Interior Minister Nikos Nouris told the House Refugee Committee that expenditure increased from 52 million euros in 2017 to what is expected to be 91 million in 2021.
Attending the first session of the committee since this year’s parliamentary elections, he explained to members of the parliament the policies which the government is following and how it is handling individual problems that arise.
Despite the fact that the country was faced with an unprecedented economic situation due to the pandemic, Nouris explained, expenditure was significantly high for refugee policy, both as regards development activity and subsidies given in the framework of the refugee housing policy.
