This mass\u00a0crossing is\u00a0considered <strong>the largest mass movement of people in recent history<\/strong>, and one of the most significant humanitarian crises that post-war Europe has faced.

On the other hand, they <strong>strongly approve of the attitude of the people<\/strong> of the Greek islands and the work of NGOs, as well as of other state bodies, especially the Greek Coast Guard.<\/li>\n<li>Significant numbers of Greeks express strong feelings and opinions of <strong>sympathy and solidarity towards the refugees themselves<\/strong>, a conclusion confirmed through a series of different questions in the study.

In 2015, according to official statistics, 856,723 refugees arrived on the Greek islands. We asked respondents to tell us how many refugees they believe have arrived in our country, and we posed the question in two different ways. For half of the respondents we left the question open, asking them to tell us the first number that came into their head. For the other half, we offered 8 alternative choices (from \u2018up to 100,000\u2019 to \u2018more than 2 million\u2019) and we asked them to choose.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10047 image-outside-container\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dianeosis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/greece_immigrations_post_01.png\" alt=\"greece_immigrations_post_01\" width=\"2187\" height=\"2556\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dianeosis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/greece_immigrations_post_01.png 2187w, https:\/\/www.dianeosis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/greece_immigrations_post_01-580x678.png 580w, https:\/\/www.dianeosis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/greece_immigrations_post_01-768x898.png 768w, https:\/\/www.dianeosis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/greece_immigrations_post_01-1027x1200.png 1027w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2187px) 100vw, 2187px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"dropcap\">I<\/span>n both cases, the percentage of respondents who came remotely close\u00a0was <strong>nearly the same<\/strong>: 21% said a number between 700,000 and 1 million in the first case, and 20% chose the \u2018from 700,000 to 1 million\u2019 option in the second case.

The corresponding percentage of those who self-identify as \u2018left\u2019 is 21%. In addition, the \u2018right\u2019 are the only demographic group that expresses more negative (45%) than positive opinions of multi-culturalism.<\/p>\n<p>These variations, however, do not alter the general picture, which is, one could say, a picture of <strong>tolerance, solidarity and patience. <\/strong>The picture of a population that faces the problem with sympathy, disappointed with the approach of decision-makers (domestic and international) which represent it.
