Ιn an interview published in the Greek daily Ta Nea, Germany’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Frank-Walter Steinmeier says that the European Union cannot solve its problems at the expense of a member-state.
Mr. Steinmeier emphasized the need for the provision of additional European support to Greece in relation to the refugee crisis, but also explained how both Greece and Germany are under major pressure from the crisis: Greece as a point of entry into Europe for refugees while Germany is the final destination for many of them.
Furthermore, the German Foreign Minister stressed that “populists, extreme right-wing arsonists” are trying to take advantage of the dramatic situation in order to “set to fire the foundations of Europe”’ and underlined that the “blame game” does not serve anyone in these critical times when the future of Europe is at stake.
