According to Focus, Mrs Merkel said she was convinced she was doing the right thing, despite well over a million people entering Germany last year thanks to her migration policies. She said she was trying to redistribute as many of them as possible to other European countries – through the compulsory migrant quotas system – and claimed to be addressing the problems causing them to enter Europe in the first place.
She added that dealing with the migrant crisis has been a “difficult path”, but letting millions of people into the country was good for Germany’s reputation.
“This is a very important phase in our history. There is so much violence and hardship on our doorstep. What’s right for Germany in the long term? There, I think it is to keep Europe together and to show humanity.”
Calls have been increasing for the Chancellor to place an upper limit on the number of migrants entering the country. Members of the Christian Social Union (CSU), Mrs Merkel’s Bavarian sister party, have been particularly vocal in calling for a cap, with Bavarian premier Horst Seehofer saying the limit should be as low as 200,000 a year.
However, Mrs Merkel said she had no plans for any such limit, thus likely increasing tensions within her governing coalition

According to the calculations of another member of German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s ‘grand coalition’ of parties, the continent can expect nearly 10 times as many migrants as has been projected for this year alone over the next five years.
