On the Greek-Macedonian border Macedonian Police used tear gas and stun grenades against unarmed people, migrants. There are wounded.

In the area where this drama is now unfolding, accumulated from three to five thousand illegal immigrants mainly from Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria – with children, no belongings, food and money. Apparently, someone is called, “I reached the point” and dared to storm the Macedonian borders (this country for refugees – the door to Europe).

More on the eve of Skopje received an order to block the road leading to the capital; in the border area declared emergency mode and strengthened law enforcement groups.

According to the latest hit five illegal immigrants. Some needed medical help. The refugees say that no attempt assault was not – they just decided to drive away from the border.

“They started to shoot at us. Just a shot. We were standing in front border and Macedonian police opened fire directly at people,” – He says one of the participants in these events.

The flow of illegal immigrants from the Middle East and Africa in the EU has risen sharply: in just six months of this year came to 100 thousand migrants more than in all the previous 12 months. While in central and northern Europe, where mainly refugees and seek, trying to agree on quotas – but who will – in the states of the south is brewing a real collapse.

Greece, Italy, Macedonia, used by illegal migrants as a transit corridor, physically can not cope with such volumes of visitors. In some places, as in Hungary, built the wall. But as the situation in Macedonia (part of the border, where it happened – was closed) is only adding fuel to the fire.
