Here’s how the German press judges Angela Merkel on politics … – Formiche.net

According to surveys, 57 percent of Germans now think that the policy of ‘reception of Angela Merkel has failed: this writes the newspaper die Welt . The same newspaper, on the same page, but also praised the steadfastness shown yesterday during the press conference by Kanzlerin in Berlin. Merkel, with a short speech introducing the annual press conference with reporters in the capital, before answering the questions for an hour and a half, he repeated the sentence on 31 August of a year ago, “We can do it.”

Yesterday he reiterated the same conviction. He never said, explained to reporters, who manage the arrival of a billion plus refugees, recognition of the right of asylum, the management of return for those not eligible for them, integrate those who can stay and make it active part of the German company, it would have been an easy task. Yesterday reminded that his “We can do it” was accompanied by the next sentence: “And where we find obstacles, we must remove them quickly.” Then he referred to as the building regulations of the newly abandoned barracks and they were used to house refugees. Yesterday was referred to internal security. And the government was not with our hands these days, but it has prepared an action plan. A nine-point plan of which the Kanzlerin summed up yesterday salient ones (the details will, however, be announced later).

Too bad, writes the Süddeutsche Zeitung , you is an action plan which is discussed for some time and no big news: Merkel wants an early warning system; more personal and more high-tech tools for security organizations; a quick and efficient exchange of data between the various law enforcement agencies at the federal level but also European; Finally a faster and effective rejection of those who have obtained permission to stay in Germany.

The events of last week: the minor Afghan refugee (or Pakistani who was, you still do not know) who attacked travelers in a train; German-Iranian boy who has made the shooting in Monaco; the fugitive who assaulted with a kebab knife a woman, and finally the Syrian rejected last Sunday blew himself up in Ansbach, a Bavarian town, threw the country into a state of shock. Even the press, commentators that only slowly and cautiously began to publish articles in which you openly calls “who we got in the house?”. Most of these articles, however, is also accompanied by the repeated admonition not to see now all refugees as potential terrorists.

Henryk Broder , always sharp pen of the Welt , however, sees in this very carefully the greatest danger not only for the Germans, but for the refugees themselves. “Collateral Damage integration” is the title of a commentary published earlier this week. “Do not panic, we are told now. The chances of dying due to a car accident are much higher. ” And almost all of them are happy to be able to resume this statistic, not having to face the real crux of the matter. Only the pasionaria of the Left Sahra Wagenknecht , Broder noted, has had the courage to point the finger there where no one wants to look and say: “The events of recent days show that the reception and integration many refugees and migrants implies problems that are much more serious than those that Frau Merkel wanted us to believe last fall. ” Even the Interior of Berlin (the capital region does Senator himself and is governed by a Senate), the Christian Democrat Frank Henkel has broken through the inertia by saying: “Apparently we got home too people totally brutalized, willing to crimes barbarians that until now we had not seen. ” Broder does note, however, that neither the Interior Ministry nor Henkel Thomas de Maiziere have longer referred to the events in Cologne, Hamburg and Stuttgart’s Eve, when hundreds of women have reported sexual harassment (in some cases even violence) by refugee groups. “Apparently integration have become collateral damage.” To which, however, the multitude of politically correct does not take into account is, Broder concludes, that “to pay the price of the open borders policy will not be the Germans, but those who came from outside. Every admonition not to do tutt’erba a bundle ends have the opposite effect and the consideration that it is statistically more likely to be the victim of a terrorist alert that a car accident, only confirms the supposition that it is a danger imponderable but omnipresent. “

Critics were also several comments followed the press conference yesterday. So in the SDZ , which in recent times has almost always defended government policy, Robert Roßmann now writes: “Angela Merkel is a giant machine of emotional reduction. He hates the emotions as much as they hate the visit to the dentist or clean the toilet. And he gave evidence during the press conference. ” Too bad, because it has missed an opportunity, always in the same newspaper he commented Kurt Kister . “Merkel is the queen by nerves, rational pragmatism. (…). And ‘likely that Merkel will also define the sinking of the Titanic and the death of John Lennon ‘ an interesting challenged “. But perhaps the time has come, continues Kister, to use a more affordable people’s language. Merkel already but should be capable of a more emotional rhetoric, just that it is not. If it were it would not be presented at the press conference, he rather did what he does brilliantly from time to time the nation Cicero, that the head of state Joachim Gauck : he then gave a speech to nation able to touch the hearts and sharpen the intellect. “Because it is true that the nation is not divided, as they pretend those of the extreme right or left. But are obvious fear, doubts, helplessness and anger. It would be good that Merkel would address precisely these issues. “

The Frankfurter Allgemeine , the newspaper of Frankfurt that has long no longer guarantees the absolute support of the past, He speaks of “limits of Kanzlerin”. The comment on the FAZ is assigned to Jasper von Altembockum , who writes: “And so finally, has said the phrase that many people expected much earlier. That phrase that you think you have already said several times, but if it was, he must have slipped in almost sneaked speeches: ‘A year like 2015 never happen again’. Merkel was referring to illegal entries. And considering the short distance that seems to divide migration and terrorism, this statement is an outlet of revolt consciousness no longer on the front line against smugglers, but the increasingly disoriented population. ” Altenbrock also incorporates the phrase that Merkel had said late last summer: “And if we find obstacles, these must be removed.” Among the obstacles that now might be removed, as Merkel yesterday did not wish to enter into the merits, it is to be able to use (as in France and Belgium for example) in Germany more easily army, instead, as required by constitution, only in the event of natural disasters or had endangered the very existence of the Federal Republic of Germany.

Merkel knows that the wind is turning. A reporter yesterday asked when will deliver the place to finally give way to a new political course. She did not respond.
