Merkel: Attacks won’t change my mind on helping refugees
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleGerman Chancellor Angela Merkel rebuffs calls to reverse her welcoming stance toward refugees after a series of brutal attacks in the country.
Merkel, who interrupted her summer holiday to face the media in Berlin, says the four assaults within a week were “shocking, oppressive and depressing,” but not a sign that authorities had lost control.
The German leader says the assailants “wanted to undermine our sense of community, our openness and our willingness to help people in need.” But, she says, “we firmly reject this.”
