Europe's Death: Merkel: EU Funds to Be Linked to

to Accepting Third World Migrants < >
German leader Angela Merkel has called for European Union funding to be based on nations’ willingness to take in third world migrants.
Speaking ahead of a Brussels summit with other leaders of EU nations, the German Chancellor said fighting for “shared European values” should be at the heart of the bloc’s spending decisions.
“Solidarity cannot be a one-way street,” she insisted in the Bundestag.
“With the distribution of structural funds, we must ensure that the allocation criteria in future reflect the engagement of many regions and municipalities in absorbing and integrating migrants.”
Stressing that a new coalition between her supposedly centre-right Christian Democrats and the left-liberal Social Democratic Party would be unashamedly pro-EU, Merkel proclaimed: “More than ever we need European answers to the pressing, big questions of our time.”
Local media reports that the Chancellor walked out of the session when challenged on her remarks by the anti-mass migration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which recently moved into second place in the polls and will become the official opposition if plans for a “grand coalition” go ahead.
