red. Rewind 2023: In the summer of this year, the Mediterranean saw one of its worst-ever boat disasters, leaving over 500 migrants dead. On June 14, the fishing trawler Adriana was heading for Italy when it sank in the Ionian Sea off the Greek coast. The approximately 750 migrants onboard, mainly from Pakistan, Syria, Palestine, and Egypt, were crammed aboard the overcrowded vessel when it sank. Although 82 bodies were recovered, it is believed that hundreds of people drowned in the most horrific circumstances. There were only 104 survivors, and none of them were women and children. The infamous Greek Coast Guard and EU border protection agency Frontex were strongly criticized for their slow responses.
Following the tragedy, left-wing groups in Greece, including trade unions and the Communist Party, supported protests expressing solidarity with the migrants and opposing the controversial pushbacks and border fences used by the Greek government to deter migrants. Unsurprisingly, the protests were met with police violence.
