Greece to become a holding centre for migrants?

Germany's interior minister has suggested the nation could send migrants back to Greece. There are over 50,000 in Greece waiting to be divided among EU states, but he said much had been done to improve the situation.
Many have applied for asylum in Greece after their prospects of reaching northern Europe faded with the closing of the Balkan route and the EU-Turkey deal to send migrants back across the Aegean to camps in Turkey.
The refugee crisis has tested Germany's ability to integrate and provide for asylum seekers, leading to a potential public backlash ahead of next year's national elections.
