Hundreds of people, including women and children, settled in a field near the Diavata camp, near the border with northern Macedonia, and began to assemble the tents.
They were urged to do so because of reports on social networks that there is a plan for organised displacement of immigrants from Greece to Albania in the first part of April.
Police have fired tear gas to stop immigrants. Some of them have been with children in their arms. The immigrants threw stones and bottles towards the police as they tried to break the police cord and continue on their way to the border.
About 100 tents have been installed in this field, surrounded by police. Immigrants have refused to leave, despite the Greek authorities' call to return to housing centres and warning that travel to other states is impossible.
“It is a lie that borders will be opened”, said Dimitris Vitsas, minister of migration, writes “Reuters”, broadcastingExpress.
