“Greece cannot be left alone with the problem,” German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Wednesday said in an interview with Volksstimme newspaper.
Merkel stressed the need for common European solutions which do not put pressure on one country and stated that nothing is achieved by closing the borders. On the contrary, the economy is set at risk, she said.
“Greece was lagging behind as it is the case with other countries,” the German Chancellor said, adding that the hotspots were not constructed on time and the reception centres for hosting 50,000 refugees were not ready by 2015 as it was agreed.
Merkel also said that the images from the Greek-FYROM borders do not shock the people of Aleppo who are trying to save themselves from the bombs and the murderers of the Islamic State.
