During a visit in October, French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin described the new #refugee camp on the Greek island of #Samos as a "European model" for the reception of #asylum seekers. The #EU-funded Samos camp is closed and isolated – a far cry from overwhelmed reception centres such as the Moria camp on Lesbos, which was nicknamed the "camp of shame".
