The Spin

Right narrative

Greek authorities acted appropriately when their patrol vessel collided with a smuggler's speedboat that was operating without lights and deliberately reversed course into the coastguard ship. The tragedy resulted from criminal smugglers who bear sole responsibility for putting migrants in danger, and Greece's toughened border enforcement has successfully reduced dangerous crossings while combating human trafficking networks.

Left narrative

It is still too early to determine exactly what happened, as an investigation by authorities is currently underway. However, this incident highlights Greece's alarming issues related to pushbacks and human rights violations at sea, which have drawn international scrutiny. It is essential to address this disturbing pattern of violence against individuals seeking asylum and to safeguard the rights and dignity of all those fleeing dangerous situations.
