Abstract
First paragraph: In recent years we have observed a shift in the moral and political economy of refugee governance in Europe. Between 2015 and 2016, Greece staged a spectacle of arriving rafts, orange vests, and volunteer rescue, and Syrians were constructed as ‘genuine’ refugees, the protagonists of the wider ‘refugees welcome’ culture and resettlement programmes across Europe. On 4 October 2019, however, the Greek prime minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis declared that contrary to 2015, what we are facing today is a migration crisis and not a refugee crisis […]. The majority of the population that is entering Greece today have the profile of an economic migrant and not that of a refugee […] only those who deserve protection and who show the necessary will to cooperate will remain in the system.
