While I wouldn't rule out that this was one of the motives, I don't think this really was the main motivation behind it. Personally, I rather believe that Merkel did not originally intend to start that mass migration wave at all; I believe she rather started it by accident, didn't originally want it to happen - and when it still happened, she just failed to openly admit it and take measures to immediately stop it. Which was hardly a surprise, considering that the media, "refugees welcome"-shouters and other "Bessermenschen" were instantly celebrating her for the whole thing, suggesting that this was such a great act of humanism, and this made us germans sooooo much better and more morally superior to all the cold-hearded scum living in countries like Hungary. |
I do think the economical part played into it. Logically, she would have waited for the EU to lay out a plan so 1. They would know how many people they could realistically take in, 2. How much support should go to the camps in and near Syria (which are currently underfunded) and 3. How the European countries could spread it. Merkel has destroyed any chance of coördination which resulted in a European free-for-all. And it's indeed stupid the liberals all see this as a sign of their moral supriority.
This hasen't helped the European people and certainly hasen't helped refugees.
