Migration could decide Europe’s ‘destiny’: Merkel
BERLIN, June 28, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned
Thursday that the migration challenge could determine Europe’s fate, hours
ahead of a Brussels summit with EU leaders expected to clash over the way
forward.
“Europe has many challenges but migration could end up determining
Europe’s destiny,” she told German lawmakers, adding that the path that the
EU chooses could decide if the bloc is viewed by others as a credible
defender of the values it espouses.
