three cheers for angela merkel

It appears that Angela Merkel’s time as party head is coming to an end. But one thing that she deserves praise for is her strong position on migration. As the world continued to slam its door on ordinary folks who only seek safety and jobs, Merkel insisted that Germany allow refugees into the country.

The years ahead will be tough. No matter which party is in office, policy continues to drift in an anti-immigrant direction. This will not change any time soon. But still, people like Merkel show that it is not impossible to rely on common sense, insist that movement should be legal and that refugees, of all people, should be left alone.

Three cheers for Angela Merkel and three cheers for all those who defend the right of movement.
