Alone in Europe - End of the Merkel Era? | Quadriga

  • 8 years ago
More and more countries are turning against Chancellor Merkel’s refugee policy. Germany’s traditional partner, France, has snubbed Berlin, slamming the door on refugees. The eastern European states have also rejected Merkel’s open arms approach, and are pushing to close down the so-called Balkan Route for refugees. Things aren’t looking any better inside Germany. The CSU party - a member of Merkel’s coalition government - has described her migration policy as a “reign of injustice.”
