The other important priority of the ministry constitutes the implementation of the Social Protection Shield for the serious problems of the groups of citizens harmed by the recession to be handled. Interior Minister Evripidis Stylianidis and Alternate Interior Minister Haralambos. Athanasiou, in a meeting with reporters, stressed that the intention is for the immigration law to become stricter.
