Two of them are representatives of the Ministry of Education and Religions.

“Megara: a new large mosque funded by Pakistan and England. The Ministry of Education asks for control, but YPROPO is not even involved, and so they fill Greece with hundreds of illegal mosques. They are called cultural centers! Not only do they not close after it was opened near the Botanical Garden. They’re breeding!” — wrote the deputy.

Earlier on Twitter it was reported about the opening of an illegal mosque in Megara.

“Pakistani channels have widely mentioned the opening of an illegal mosque in Megara, which operates without any real permission from YPAIT. A show of strength by Pakistanis who create a complete and strange inactivity of some. Dangerous games with the country’s security,” the author of the publication emphasizes.
