Germany chooses – and the eyes of the world on the country. Why this choice is special, and as DW reported, describes editor-in-chief Ines Pohl in your Editorial.
The world looks in these weeks and months, so intensely in Germany for how long. Many of us do, with admiration and appreciation. But certainly not all: While the questions almost with envy, of how Germany manages to, despite all the challenges and problems to exude such a fundamental stability, have the other fear of a renewed Supremacy of this country in the heart of Europe.
Some see in Germany and its Chancellor, Angela Merkel, is the last Bastion that can protect the EU from disintegration, others blame Germany, the continent of his rules with all his might to impose. And not for the good of Europe, but only for their own advantage: everything for the export of the master and the on-going economic miracle.
Act of humanity or the downfall of the Occident?
Depending on where I am in the world, I meet people, the prices, the willingness of Germany, more than a Million refugees, as an act of humanity – or as I face the angry men and women who accuse us to have the many refugees in the first place are attracted to be for the downfall of the Christian West is responsible.
