On migration issues in Greece, in particular on the island of Samos 

The petitioner calls upon the EU institutions to undertake action on resolving what she describes as an undue plight on Greece in hosting large numbers of migrants. The petitioner, a German citizen, lives on the island of Samos and describes her daily experience of being unable to make use of basic public services due to the presence of large groups of migrants, who live in undignified conditions and place pressure on public service providers. In particular, the petitioner refers to long queues at post offices, where migrants await money transfers, and public hospitals, where migrants are often treated in priority allegedly due to the fear of transmissible diseases, resulting in the local population being underserved. The petitioner is of the view that the current living situation of migrants on the island is disadvantageous to them as well as to the local inhabitants of the island. The petitioner refers to the need for greater dedication of EU funds to help migrants and better manage migrant pressures on public services across the entire Union, rather than placing an excessive burden on Greece as a country still recovering from crisis conditions. She therefore calls upon the EU institutions to do more to support migration-related funding initiatives locally, as opposed to investing in what the petitioner describes as non-priority EU-backed public projects such as a nearby maritime museum.
