Merkel is meddling in the Berlin election campaign

A few days before the election, Chancellor Angela Merkel criticized the behavior of the mayor of Berlin, in dealing with refugees. Their own refugee policy defended Merkel against criticism.

Full of optimism, despite the criticism: Berlin’s governing mayor Michael Müller

Berlin’s governing mayor Michael Müller declare themselves not competent and sliding his responsibility, said Merkel in an Interview with the “daily mirror”. From my own experience, you know: “heads of government bear the responsibility and be made in the case of elections, also always responsible.”

In the past few months, there had been in the red-black Berlin-based coalition of bitter dispute over the responsibility for the reception and accommodation of refugees. Especially because of the conditions on the site of the CDU-led state office for health and social Affairs (Lageso) was Müller in the criticism. The refugee issue will dominate the election for the Berlin house of representatives on Sunday, stark said the Chancellor. “Election campaigns are conducted about the topics that move people.” The topic of Integration in Berlin is an important issue.

Merkel wants to “solid solutions”

Their own refugee policy defended Merkel against criticism. She was at peace with itself: “the one Who has to make direction-setting policy choices, have to do this, even if you polarize it,” said the Chancellor. They see it as their duty, to designate, at the same time “always the reasons for the decisions and to promote or support”. Most of the decisions in the refugee policy had been worn in the Rest of the overwhelming majority of the deputies in the Bundestag, the Federal länder and the municipalities “as a national effort,” said Merkel.

The CDU leader assured, you’ll take the
Concerns of the people seriously and wool, with “solid solutions” of your course convince. “We know since the right-wing excesses of the nineties and the murders of the NSU, that there is a potential for resentment, and even hatred against foreigners. The task of policy is to oppose it.” An upper limit for refugees, as requested by the sister party, the CSU, rejected Merkel again. Instead, it was the EU-to protect the external borders better against escape causes “and to conclude with countries of origin and transit fair agreements such as the EU – Turkey agreement”.

There may be an “immigration limitation law”?

To the discussion of the requirement of immigration for refugees from the “Christian-Occidental” culture areas allow not referred to the Chancellor that the CSU would refer this to refugees, but only on a “as they called it, the immigration limitation act. Such laws always follow the interests of host countries and set criteria for the immigrants. This is in order and the meaning of such laws in all countries.”

Alone due to the anchoring of Germany in the EU, the country could, for example, the immigration from Europe in such a law a priority, she stressed, but “different issues of asylum law or the Geneva Convention on refugees”.

Merkel wants to keep their course

In spite of the
Resistance from the CSU, as well as Parts of their party showed Merkel confident of your course. It referred to decisions of the CDU-party tags to the end of 2015. At that time their party had decided to organize the influx of refugees, to control and to reduce. “Today, we can say that we went this way, and the decisions of the CDU party day, consistently implemented,” said Merkel.
