From the full 16-year period of Angela Merkel's rule, no another conviction has been recorded in the memory of the Germans as we have "we can handle it!". She spoke in the summertime of 2015, erstwhile hundreds of thousands of migrants arrived in Germany in a fewer months and German municipalities faced a serious challenge.
Now, after 10 years, the erstwhile German Chancellor inactive defends his migration policy. Although the celebrated conviction was repeatedly referred to it," Merkel said on Thursday, May 1, speaking at the Evangelical legislature in Hannover. At an evangelical meeting, she received large applause for her position.
"I didn't say I could do it."
Next week, her successor – Friedrich Merz – will most likely be elected head of the German government. The most crucial nonsubjective of the future chapeco-social democratic coalition will be to reduce migration to Germany.
– I didn't say I could do it at the time," said Merkel in Hannover. “It was my belief that there were many people in Germany who would aid in specified a crisis. And that's what we're arrogant of. Let's not let it be taken away," she said.
As she said, she besides knew that 10,000 fresh people could not be admitted all day and that it was inactive essential to guarantee that those who do not have the right to stay in Germany leave the country. “But those who, so to speak, were at our door, at the border, we did not turn back, we just accepted them,” added Merkel.
Berlin's fresh migration policy
The statements of the erstwhile German chancellor disagree from Friedrich Merz's migration policy. CDU leader announced that since the first day of the fresh government Germany will be even better controlled and migrants will be sent to another countries on a larger scale. According to Merz, the EU besides supports a more restrictive course in migration policy.
“Everyone who tries to enter Germany illegally must know that since 6 May there has been an end to this at the German border”, announced in 1 of the last interviews the future head of the Thorsten Frei Chancellery Office, referring to the day of election of the next Chancellor. The fresh German government "will grow and intensify individual controls at the German borders from the first day on," said the CDU politician.
