Germany's Merkel denies change of course on refugees | News | DW.COM | 01.10.2016
Tags: Current Focus, Germany, Diversity,
Chancellor Merkel tells the newspaper "Sachsische Zeitung," that she sees a follow through on policies on refugees after reestablishing control over EU borders as one of the lessons learned from last years refugee crisis. This has reduced the flow of refugees and Merkel says the process of deportation of non-German nationals who had no residency permit had to be done rigorously and speeded up. Having said this Merkel defended her policy on refugees as "coherent," and was clear about it- "I do not see a change of course, but coherent work over many, many months." Responding to Pegida and anti-immigrant sentiment in Dresden, Merkel said it is important to remember the lessons of history, that "we are the people" slogan used by the far-right is misplaced, that in a free society "we all are the people."
"The situation that reached us unprepared in late summer 2015"- chancellor Merkel on the unanticipated nature of events at Budapest Keleti station
09/21/2016
Some say if prime minister Orban of Hungary had not acted the way he did, the German government would have had more time to consider the situation. As it happened the German government and chancellor Merkel had to decide in a few hours. If Budapest, Berlin and other EU nations had communicated better the situation could have been handled in a better way instead of the sudden unplanned movement of refugees into Germany and Austria.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
