Most Germans doubt Merkel will get European immigration deal - poll

BERLIN (Reuters) - Three-quarters of Germans do not believe Chancellor Angela Merkel will manage to secure a European solution to the immigration dispute that is plaguing her relationship with her Bavarian allies in government, a survey showed on Wednesday.

 

Bavaria's Christian Social Union (CSU) on Monday gave Merkel two weeks to get a deal with European allies after Germany's coalition government almost cracked apart as Merkel's Christian Democrats and their sister party rowed over immigration.

 

The survey of 5,038 people by pollster Civey for newspaper Die Welt showed that 74.7 percent were sceptical while 18.1 percent believed Merkel would conduct successful negotiations.

 

Horst Seehofer, CSU leader and Germany's interior minister, wants to turn away migrants who have already registered in other EU states but Merkel opposes any unilateral move to reverse her 2015 open-door policy and undermine her authority.

 

Bavaria's CSU Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann told German broadcaster Deutschlandfunk he was optimistic that Merkel would secure bilateral agreements with other EU countries about returning migrants.

 

But he pointed to comments from Seehofer that preparations would be made in case Merkel was unsuccessful so the federal police could reject migrants who have registered elsewhere from the first week of July.

 

"This is necessary. We can no longer look on as this refugee tourism across Europe happens," Herrmann said.

 

He added that rejecting from July 1 migrants who have already registered in other EU countries would be legal: "It's the existing law."

 

Volker Kauder, head of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group, warned Germany against taking unilateral action on refugee policy, telling broadcaster ZDF: "I believe that in the end we can only solve the problem with our European neighbours and not by going it alone."

 

He expressed optimism that Merkel would manage to seal deals with European partner countries to take back refugees.

 

Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz is likely to meet Merkel and other European leaders this week to discuss migration, he said on Wednesday.

Oh ,i'me back from my "holiday" so all i can say is i hope she gets the boot ,as she is destroying Germany and Europe .

I doubt if she has 2 weeks survival left

 

She cannot give in because it was her that created the situation in the first place. Time for her to go.

I truly hope the "culona inchiavabile ( citing Berlusconi )" will be deported to one of her favorite countries, maybe to Syria ?

I would say that would be a given.

The Hungarian parliament has passed new legislation that criminalises lawyers and activists who help asylum seekers.

 

Anyone "facilitating illegal immigration" will face a year in jail.

Cannot see Hungary rushing to sign up to any EU Immigration deal.

A European solution. Surely they mean a German solution to the migration problems of Europe.

Well at least a German created Problem if I remember rightly she made the decision now she is stuck with the face problem and the German people with the real humanitarian problem.

Only thing that's going to work properly is the Australian model and they haven't the sand to do it the EU...worked and saved the Ozzies though.

Experts predict that Africa, the world's poorest continent economically, will account for more than half of the world's population growth by 2050."

A glaring example of the "I must keep face and never admit to being wrong or change my policies" approach that seems to be catching on in the West too!

Didn't agree with them paying criminal traffickers to turn around though.

Merkel wants her decision, which is not necessarily the German decision, to be the EU decision and imposed solution.

 

That way she can save face, get her own way and who knows, even get her Nobel prize after all.

It's excellent seeing her slow demise, and all her own fault.
