The urgent problem today is to welcome the fleeing refugees from the Middle East. Everyone knows this is a crisis which could go on for some years.
Chancellor Merkel has stated that Germany will wellcome 800 000 "qualified refugees", but not those flleeing from economic poverty.
She has asked Jean-Claude Juncker, the President of the EU Commission, to ensure the distribution of 160 000 other refugees to other countries in the "EU" !
Merkel does not have the backing of all the other 27 countries in the EU or even those in the EUROZONE !
At a summit on September, 4th in Prague, Poland, Hungary, Tcheck Republic and Slovakia all were against any quotas being imposed. Hungary will adopt new anti-immigration laws and will close its frontier with Serbia.
Spain refuses any immigrants because of its 22% unemployment problem. Britain refuses any EU quotas and Denmark has suspended all train services with Germany.
Even with the help of Jean-Claude Juncker, Merkel will face stiff opposition for her plan to be adopted.
