Presidential candidate of the German Christian right, Friedrich Meretz
Friedrich Meretz, candidate for the presidency of the German Christian Democrats, to which Chancellor Angela Merkel is affiliated, opposed the admission of new refugees from camps in Greece or Bosnia.
Speaking to the German group “Funke”, Meretz said: “The entire European Union is specifically obliged to help refugees at their sites in the Balkans or on the Greek islands, and this humanitarian catastrophe cannot be solved by Germany welcoming everyone … This road is no longer open. “
Meretz underlined: “The need for Europe to conclude agreements with countries of arrival or transit to prevent irregular and potentially fatal migration across the Mediterranean.”
“The clear message to refugee and trafficking organizations is that this issue is life-threatening and will not work,” he added.
Meretz called for “a more aggressive deportation than in previous years” and added: “There are cases of refugees that Germany will not be able to deport at this time.”
He added: “In Syria, for example, there are legal, humanitarian, as well as realistic obstacles, due to the lack of open air and land routes, so deportation to it will not be possible except in individual cases.”
