And just think, Angella, what you have done has cemented the end of what we know as Germany. Thirty years from now you country will be completely lost.
In a rare show of regret, Angela Merkel admits she lost control of Germany’s refugee crisis
Germany’s taciturn chancellor surprised the country this week with an uncharacteristically frank speech apologizing for her handing of the refugee crisis. Angela Merkel’s contrite comments came after her party suffered dismal results in state elections this month, losing support to the upstart anti-immigrant party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD).
In a 20-minute press conference yesterday (Sept. 19), the chastened chancellor said her government made mistakes in its refugee policy over the past 18 months. More than a million migrants came to Germany last year, five times more than the year before, boosted by the country’s open-door policy for refugees from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, and other war-torn countries.
