No sentence has been heard more often in Germany in the past week than the one that something must be done about migration. For many people and for a whole series of parties, it follows that the measures proposed by the chancellor candidate Friedrich Merz, including strict control of inner-European borders, belong in the catalogue of measures available to a German government. This is a serious mistake. This mistake is much more important than the fact that the CDU’s motion was supported by the AfD. The AfD is a child of this fundamental German mistake.
There are problems in this world that the government of a nation state can easily solve. But there are questions that, by their very nature, can never be answered by one state alone, but only in cooperation with other nations. Migration is one of them.
