Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel is back with a message; Europe could be ‘destroyed’ unless they continue to allow millions of ‘non-Europeans’ to flood the bloc.
Criticizing Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s migration policy, Merkel told Southwestern Press Forum in Neu-Ulm last week that efforts to secure borders could have catastrophic consequences.
“I do not believe we can decisively combat illegal migration at the German-Austrian or German-Polish border… I have always advocated European solutions,” she said when asked about Merz’s latest measures adopted by his cabinet – which include a prohibition on asylum applications at all German land borders, with exceptions for pregnant woman, children and other vulnerable individuals – a sharp reversal from Merkel’s 2015 open-border policy.
“Otherwise, we could see Europe destroyed,” she continued.
Critics have called Merkel’s open-border policy “disastrous” after over a million migrants flooded into Germany during the peak of the 2015-2016 refugee crisis, while Germany continues to be the top destination for asylum seekers – ‘welcoming’ over 237,000 applicants in 2023, roughly 25% of the bloc’s total, according to EU stats.
Merz promised to crack down on migration his ‘first day’ in office in the run-up to Germany’s snap election on Feb. 23.
Less than 24 hours after being sworn in, Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt announced sweeping border controls that would prohibit migrants from entering Germany, including those seeking asylum.
Merkel’s criticism of Merz is her second this year – as she previously slammed his decision to rely on ‘far-right’ politicians to help pass an anti-immigration motion in parliament.

Right. So preventing the people who overtly want to destroy you from entering your country is somehow going to destroy the whole of Europe. Clearly the woman is suffering from the same dementia as Sleepy Joe
?
..maaan, now that is some bass-ackwards thinking, ms merkel. perhaps your country should be moving these gimmigrants into your neighborhood, then?
?
I dont think hitlers daughter should be interfering considering the damage she caused and was even awarded the kalergi medal of honour for her achievements. I’d say she is not too happy about the shakes she inherited from her daddy. I’ll take my chances with the destruction with borders.
Yeah, listen to Merkel. She’s the reason Europe is the way it is today.
