The newspaper I Kathimerini describes the signing of the immigration and asylum agreement as "hypocrisy". "Are we to believe there is a single European head of government who really wants Indian computer experts and ... Russian mathematicians in his country? ... We should not delude ourselves. The goal of this tough policy is not to limit migration, but to penalise it, so that the majority of migrants find themselves in the position of hunted animals. ... The authorities should not hunt the illegal immigrants but the illegal employers. From the industrialist who employs workers at half price right through to each and every one of us who employs an Albanian bricklayer, an Indian watchman for his summer residence or a Ukrainian maid without social security."
