Tempers flare as Macedonia blocks migrants
Tempers have flared at Greece’s main border crossing with Macedonia, where riot police pushed back thousands of people after the Macedonians blocked access to those deemed to be economic migrants and not refugees.
Holding their identity papers aloft, several hundred Syrians, Afghans and Iraqis, who are being allowed into Macedonia, crossed the border on Friday morning until police halted the flow again to ease congestion on the Macedonian side.
