The story of how the migrants at Budapest's Keleti station spontaneously started the march to the Austrian border September 1-4, 2015

09/11/2015

WSJ's reporters Thomas, Bradley and Geiger tell this exceptional story of a change posted on the internet site of Germany's agency tackling asylum applications that it was no longer enforcing Dublin protocols (requiring applications to be handled at the country of first entry), and how it emboldened refugees at Keleti station Budapest to begin a march of thousands on highways to the Austrian border. The events of these days in early September 2015 led to German chancellor Merkel's later statements about the "fundamental right to asylum for the politically persecuted knowing no upper limit." It had not started that way, events and the courage of the refugees led to Germany responding in a way that could not have been imagined with "Wilkommen refugees" signs at entry points.

Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Treaty (TTIP) unpopular in Germany

04/24/2016

As U.S. president Obama pushed for the treaty during his visit to the Hannover Fair, German newspapers say the treaty is even more unpopular now than when polls showed that about half of Germans opposed the treaty. Protesters in Hannover say they oppose the treaty because it benefits big business at the expense of working people. Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump and Ted Cruz oppose the trade treaties. Experts say most of the benefits from trade have already been gained, and the priorities have shifted to infrastructure, wages and the working class in the U.S. and in Europe, as some sections of society have lagged behind.
