After the initial euphoria…there are
always doubts. It’s like that throughout, so why should we be surprised? Has
Angela Merkel gone too far on her policy of free trade and open borders? Has
she lost touch with reality and common sense? Maybe it’s just too much, all
together: euro crisis, refugee crisis, Ukraine crisis, global capitalism not
working anymore (due to greed, NOT because of the system). Politicians are not
handling all these problems very well, let’s face it, at least that’s the
general impression.
Certainly mine!
THE People, wrongly or rightly, is
always right. Wherefore they get angry: winter is approaching, are there “decent”
accomodations for all the refugees? You can’t put them in tents, like in other
Countries, so they’ll have angry Germans (municipalities are already struggling)
with irate, discontent refugees.
I admire Ms. Merkel. But is she so
sure Germany can manage that influx so rapidly? The point is not the percentage
of them compared to locals, as instead many continue repeating, the crucial
point is time. Basically, people have needs (from both sides), which in those
cases will not be satisfied if the rush continues. It’s getting darker and
colder and not because winter is coming.
Populist parties are ready to bite
like rabid dogs (see my post “Populism”): many Germans will easily fall for the
seduction of it.
So sad…. History repeats itself. Will
it be merely for the time being?
….Always humble,
Angiolino
