Someone with the sense of humour marked the military van near-permanently present at the Tychero border guard department in #Evros as 'human rights office' on google maps. I've seen a few interventions like this. Love them.

A trip down memory lane: In 2009, the EU Commission initiated infringement proceedings against 🇬🇷 regarding violations of the EU acquis, ill-treatment and the 'turning back of persons who may face serious harm or persecution'.

Very unlikely the Commission would do the same now, despite #Pushbacks
