German official buses dozens of migrants to Merkel's office



BERLIN: -- An irate local politician in Germany’s southern state of Bavaria has bused dozens of refugees to Chancellor Angela Merkel’s office in Berlin as a protest against her open-door refugee policy.

A spokesman for Peter Dreier from the town of Landshut confirmed to Reuters that 31 refugees were making the 550 kilometre trip to the capital and were likely arrive in the afternoon.

Dreier appeared to be acting on a threat he made to Merkel last year. Critical of her mantra that Germany can cope with the influx of migrants, he reportedly issued a warning to the chancellor in a phone call in October.

“If Germany is taking in 1 million refugees, mathematically that means 1,800 will come to my district. I will take them and if there are any more, I will send them to your office,” German newspaper Die Welt quoted Dreier as saying.

Merkel is under increasing pressure to stem the flow of migrants coming to Germany, many from war zones in the Middle East or Africa. Some 1.1 million people arrived last year and several thousand continue to stream in every day.

Local authorities are stretched both financially and logistically to house and look after refugees and there has been a backlash by right-wing groups who have warned of the problems of integration.

The frustration in Bavaria, the main entry point for most migrants coming to Germany, is especially strong with Merkel’s conservative allies, the Christian Social Union (CSU), repeatedly calling on her to introduce a formal cap on migrant numbers. She has resisted such a cap, arguing that it would be impossible to enforce.

Has Germany's Baby Boomer generation read the story of the Pied Piper?

Merkel will offer her services as the Piper?

[Credo]

As much as I can agree with his frustration, the migrants are still people and not chattel that should be bused around for political purposes.

[shirtless]

Merkel made this problem its only fare she deal with it , The EU is now in turmoil

[ezzra]

Angela Merkel, the bells have tolled, and it seems that your days in office are numbered, and what you thought were good deeds in the name of humanity, will turn out to the shovel that will dig your political career grave....

[stickylies]

I dont think she Will be impressed. She's used to worse situations and unlike many tvf members not that emotional

[BKKdreaming]

Wrong direction , they needed to take them to Merkels home village ,

Berlin would not care if they have 31 more refugees , but her home village might not like a dozen tents with refugees on the Hauptstrasse

[Sharp]

Letting a German load you on to transport to be moved somewhere probably wouldn't be a good idea history shows!!!!

[klauskunkel]

I'm beginning to suspect that this migrant mess is the outcome of Merkel's delusional gamble for a Nobel Peace Price nomination. Nothing else makes sense anymore. I mean, why else would she allow unchecked entry to anyone with a beard who can spell "Asylum"? It looks as if she either wants a Guinness Book entry, or that award coveted by every politician. In any case, it is the Germans and the true refugees who will pay for it, not Merkel.

[NongKhaiKid]

Bet she didn't like it, after all invasion by unwanted people etc is for ordinary people but not someone as important as the Chancellor.

According to a recent n-tv online survey (n= 34600) 92% of all Germans reject, the refugee policy from Merkel!
Merkel makes her personal thing, regardless of the population.
There will be mass demonstrations.
It's incredible with which arrogance she turns against its own people.
I think that she no longer have the confidence of the majority in the Bundestag!
It's time to put the question of confidence!

Yes. This is much bigger than Merkel's political career. It's about Europe maintaining a semblance of its decency in coming years/decades. More precisely, middle and northern Europe. The SE countries, who are bearing the largest brunt of migrants, are dealing with it more realistically and sensibly: they're building fences and not being welcoming.

On her gravestone, the following should be engraved: Here lies Merkel, who opened the gates wide to Sharia and gang rapes for Europe.

Again idiots feed from her.
Sounds, as Germany has lost his sovereignty over its own national borders!
Such nonsense is the people in Germany actually told.

So ,how many are you prepared to bring into your home to take care of ?

[Sydebolle]

That's not irate, it is free speech and action in Germany! We will see, this story is not over yet anytime soon

[timbothaivisa]

The Lisbon Treaty clause on "ever closer union" is not just a cute turn of phrase, it's a declared objective: no nation-states within the EU.

To understand the migrant crisis, people need to think about how you would go about such a massive undertaking as disposing of all the native cultures, traditions & loyalties within a disparate continent. Merkels diktats are no soft-hearted gesture gone-wrong, it's part of a detailed & determined plan: Order Out of Chaos.

[LALes]

Too many Muslims in Europe already and she just opened the floodgates. The reaction is the same in all the countries.

She gets the award for most boneheaded political move of the 21st century.

[RichardColeman]

Another bus load of would be's or could be's !

[Krataiboy]

Her chance to get a mass groping and find out what it's like.

How can you be xenophobic and live in country other than yours.. Don't feel bad if Thai people look down on you.Do you know karma?

isn't she already in GB as most A-sexual being on earth ????

Agreed as most people in the right mind will.

A problem has come into this world which cannot be solved within the boundaries of Europe.

In-fighting is not going to solve anything.

[stoneyboy]

I like the fact the bus driver came from a town called LANDSHUT how ironic.

If she had four fat kids who kept eating sugary crap all day, would she say "I won't curtail their eating sweets, because it's impossible to enforce." ?

Speaking of 'impossible to enforce';..... The men who are turned down for asylum don't leave. They aren't bused back towards their countries of origin. No siree. They're just told 'sorry, you don't qualify,' so the migrants then just stroll out the office and meld into Germany. ...or if they encounter a hassle, they can drift to nearby countries. If I've got a hornet's nest in my yard - out on a limb of a tree in my yard, I'll just bend the branch over the fence to your yard. You won't mind, will you?

[boomerangutang]

Instead of busing them to her office, how 'bout bussing them to her house. give them each a lawn chair, some sandwiches, a jug of water, and wish 'em good luck. When Merkel comes home in the evening, she can decide how best to accommodate all her new residents.

So in order to make the nations of the EU "closer" instead of breaking down their existing individual cultures, give them all the same massive refugee/migrant/Sharia headache? That could actually work.

[MaeJoMTB]

I've always assumed Merkel was a KGB mole plotting the downfall of the west.

Destroy NATO and the EU from the inside, then Russia can rise again.

[lee b]

Yep shes opened the doors for them all, but the big question is would she open her own door and let them in?? Nope would she heck !
