Failures and successes

It is ironic that in politics a smart move can coincide with a failed one. Starting with the second, the government's admission, by the prime minister himself, that it was actually not prepared to deal with the refugee crisis, leaves an unpleasant taste. More important was the fact that Kyriakos Mitsotakis' government seemed to ignore the magnitude of the problem.

How was that possible? This is a problem that has been complicated and acute for years and exceeds the capabilities of any government. Shouldn't a new government have come prepared with some basic plan to deal with migration? Alas it didn't.
It seems this government came to power with a very specific agenda that focused on economic recovery, disregarding the huge, persistent problem coming from the east, even though the humanitarian crisis had exploded on the islands and the different identification centers...
