During his visit to Greece, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier was confronted with demands for reparations related to World War II.

Greek President Katerina Sakellaropoulou emphasized the importance of addressing the damages and forced loans from Nazi Germany.

Steinmeier acknowledged Germany's historical responsibility but maintained that the legal issue of reparations is considered settled by Germany.

In addition to the reparations issue, Steinmeier's visit to a refugee camp near Athens was met with protests.

Refugees chanted for identification and expressed their frustrations, leading to a shortened visit.

Steinmeier called for a collaborative European approach to the migration crisis, highlighting the increasing number of arrivals in Greece.

These events underscore the ongoing tensions between Germany and Greece over historical grievances and current challenges, such as migration.
