Tonight, via ARD's Sunday night public chat forum (the Anne Will Show at 9:45 PM, after Tatort)....is the topic of "Europe's failed migration policy - what role should Germany play?"
With the burned out refugee camp in Moria (Lesbos, Greece), a great deal of German journalistic effort this week has focused on getting the 'system' (the Bundestag and the EU) to do 'something'.
What the EU and Germany has basically agreed to do....is simply bring 400 juveniles from the burned-out camp to France/Germany, and rebuild the 'camp'. Reaction by Greek locals on Lesbos? They mostly want the camp dissolved and the 13k to be either dispensed to Germany, or sent back home.
This forum chat? It's mostly a chat with pro-migration political people (the Green Party rep is there), the Doctors Without Borders representative, and a couple of journalists.
No one is there to be anti-migrant, nor should anyone draw a stance in that direction. The end-result needs to be explained out to the general public.....there is no German migration policy, nor a EU-migration policy....nor will anything over the next decade come to really change that.
You basically have a couple of countries in the EU with zero need for immigrants and a couple of EU member-states with marginalized views (they might accept a thousand a year, just to be nice about it). Then you have France and Germany, with a fair number of supporters who want the migration scene. But the truth to the end-result is that both Paris and Berlin fear the politician folks opposing migration, and that in a national election.....they might lose more voters.
One would best be able to call this a theatrical opera, that continues weekly....without any change or improvement. The same 'actors', the same speeches, the same landscape, and the same end-result.
The refugee crowd sitting in Moria? Sooner or later, they will come to realize that this whole dream of making it to Germany....was just a fantasy, and give up....but that's probably two or three years in the future.
