Lesbos to greet Greek PM's visit with protests, shutters and strikesCompassion has turned to anger on island on frontline of Europe’s migrant crisisWhen a Greek prime minister visits a far-flung corner of the country he is traditionally welcomed with open arms. But any hope that Alexis Tsipras will be given the same reception when he arrives on Lesbos – the Aegean island long on the frontline of Europe’s migrant crisis – has been firmly dispelled.Instead of the red carpet, locals have rolled out protest banners, announced a mass protest, shuttered shops and staged a general strike. Far from its usually jovial self, the port capital of Mytilene resembled a ghost town, reinforced and ringed by riot police, ahead of the visit late on Thursday.“The people of Lesbos are exhausted,” the island’s mayor, Spyros Galinos, said. “Kindness has turned to anger … and where there is anger there is room for all sorts of extremism.”Three years after almost a million migrants and refugees landed on Lesbos’s shores in dinghies from Turkey, the compassion with which they were greeted has all but run its course.Less than two weeks ago, in the most vicious assault yet, irate locals led by far-right anti-immigrant activists, attacked Afghans in Mytilene’s central square as they camped out in protest against their enforced confinement on the island. Some screamed “burn them alive” as they set upon the migrants, who included women and children, with burning bins and flares.
