Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel is now reportedly suggesting Europe has failed to manage migration effectively, revisiting her famous 2015 declaration “Wir schaffen das” (“We can do it”). Merkel believes moderate political forces have proven incapable of addressing the challenges presented by migration flows. This perceived failure has created an opening for right-wing parties to gain traction and influence. The statement reflects a critical assessment of Europe’s handling of the migration issue over the past decade. It indicates a shift in Merkel’s perspective on the continent’s ability to integrate and control migration. Experts suggest the comments will likely fuel further debate surrounding immigration policies within the EU and beyond, potentially bolstering anti-immigration sentiment. This assessment comes amid ongoing discussions about border security and asylum procedures across Europe.
