German Chancellor Angela Merkel admitted on the 19 September 2016 some mistakes in her refugee policy, but did not reverse her 2015 decision to have an open door policy to asylum seekers. In her first speech since the resounding defeat of the CDU party in Berlin's state election on the 18 September 2016 and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania on the 4 September 2016, Mrs Merkel stated she would turn back time if she could to better prepare for the migrant wave hitting the country in 2015. She also pledged not to let that situation of 'uncontrolled immigration' be repeated. Ms Merkel acknowledged that voters wanted to see a change in her policy, but added that they had not given a clear picture of what they wanted in its place. Later in December, the Chancellor confirmed the country was not going to impose a limit on the number of refugees taken in. |
