The Voting Right of the Immigrants in Greece (original) (raw)

Greece from the beginning of the decade 1990 and afterwards has become a country of reception of refugees and economic immigrants, mainly from countries of Eastern and southern-eastern Europe. Such kind of incidents resulted to the fear for the foreigner, the xenophobia towards populations that were considered as underdeveloped due to the arrangements that had prevailed in them after the end of Second World War and their weakness of communication with the remainder world. During the last period a big discussion has arised concerning the subject of citizenship concession among immigrants and their families, specifically in the space of local self-government. The elections are perhaps the day where reminds us more that we are foreigner, that we do not belong nowhere. Fadel, Passport, vol. 3, Nov 2007
