Angela Merkel is the elected Chancellor of Germany and she is also a powerful leader in the EU, but through her compassion for immigrants from the Middle East, she has now flung open the gates of the EU to welcome more than a million refugees !
As Chancellor she has announced that Germany will accept 800 000 "qualified workers" but not those fleeing economic poverty. She has also instructed Jean-Claude Juncker, the President of the EU Commission, to try to allocate a further 160 000 refugees to other EU countries.
Germany's economic affluence can absorb Refugees because its industries are short of workers. Other EU countries are not all in such a fortunate position !
Merkel is riding a tide of general compassion by all right thinking persons, for miserable Migrants who are forced to flee their country just to save their lives. But, only one million migrants this year does not mean there will be none in the coming years !
Should a referendum not be organised in EU countries which are being obliged to accept Refugees, this year and in later years ? Should the electorate not be democratically consulted on such an important issue ?
Likewise in Germany, should Merkel not consult her electors and those of her Coalition. Not only in Germany but everywhere, there is compassion, but there are also limits !
