Merkel hopes that other European countries will also participate. The drama must “finally” drive the countries of the European Union towards a common migration policy, which is now “non-existent”, she says.
The Netherlands now also shows itself “exceptionally” willing to receive 100 asylum seekers from Moria. It concerns 50 unaccompanied minors, under the age of 14, and 50 people from families with minor children. The Hague is making this offer “preferably as part of an EU-coordinated action”.
German Development Aid Minister Gerd Müller previously announced that his country can receive 2,000 homeless migrants.
