German Chancellor Angela Merkel may need to brace for a constitutional challenge as the Bavaria state threatened to take legal steps with regard to the refugee crisis after a meeting of the cabinet.
“We need a limit to immigration to maintain our internal security,” he said.
“If the requirements of the EU’s Schengen and Dublin agreements can not be promptly implemented again then the Federal Republic of Germany should send refugees back from the border“.
By Rainer Buergin German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s spokesman said Germany will shoulder rising refugee costs without resorting to tax increases, as Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said European Union coffers may lack the means. However, the EU’s determination to stabilise the Eurozone as the Greek debt crisis deepened in 2011 with the treaty-based “Fiscal Compact’ caused an early rift, not only with Merkel and other European Union leaders but also with his Liberal Democrat coalition partners”.
Furthermore, Horst Seehofer, Prime Minister of Bavaria, announced Bavarian Integration Act, which has anchored the framework and objectives of the Bavarian integration policy.
The Bavarian government demanded to reject refugees directly at the German border, if the other EU states failed to meet their European commitments and to take over the incoming refugees. “I don’t want to be seen as a scaremonger but our security is one of the main reasons why a limit is necessary”.
“You can’t close the border – and we saw in Hungary what happens when you set up a fence”, she said.
Later, senior officials of the two countries signed 18 Memoranda of Understandings, including one on the basis of which a few India-Germany flights would have armed marshals to thwart hijacking bids. In August, the German government estimated that 800,000 refugees would arrive in the country. “People will still find ways to come”. As a result, it is perhaps unsurprising that the television images of her in a burka created such an uproar among German viewers.
Merkel, the newspaper said, spoke “like a waterfall and lively like never before, which showed how critical the situation is”.
At the Summit attended by the who’s is who of the India Inc, particularly the IT sector, Modi also said India is committed to protecting Intellectual Property Rights of all innovators and entrepreneurs.
