In an interview with Saarbrücker Zeitung, Soyuz 90/Green Co-chairman Catherine Goering-Eckardt demanded that Germany simply accept more refugees because of the recent desire of migrants to Greece. According to her, there are many municipalities that “have the capacity and willingness to accept refugees. We have to use this.
Green Chairman Annalena Baerbock did not stand aside and even demanded that the migrants landing on the Greek island of Lesbos be brought to Germany.
“We need to urgently add quotas. Dozens of municipalities are ready”, – Baerbock wrote on Twitter.
She also added that the EU should now show “humanity” and refugee camps should be established on the external borders of the EU.
“Then refugees should be distributed in the EU as soon as possible in order to carry out the asylum procedure there”, – Green said. – “If not everyone joins, some should go further and provide financial assistance. Germany must actively resume its own refugee resettlement opportunities”.
