The controversy over the sex reassignment bill has dominated the public discourse in Greece, since the government introduced a clause allowing teenagers as young as 15 years old to transition. The Greek Church stated its position on the matter in a categorical manner squarely condemning the bill.

A strong earthquake in the Aegean Sea has killed at least two people on the Greek island of Kos, officials say. The deaths were confirmed to the Athens News Agency by the island’s Mayor, George Kyritsis.

The Greek government has said it expects 30,000 to enter the country within the next 20 days, as it announced plans to build housing facilities to accommodate the increased numbers across the mainland. The spokesperson for the Coordination of Refugees, George Kyritsis set the relocation of refugees to the existing reception centers around the country as top priority.

“Chaos” is the word to describe the situation on the island of Kos with images of violence between undocumented migrants and the outnumbered Greek police doing the rounds on the international media.
