WA few days before the meeting of EU interior ministers on Thursday, Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) reaffirmed his support for a reform of the European asylum system. “We decided from the start that we want to support and advance the European reform of the asylum system,” Scholz said on Tuesday in Berlin at the Europe Forum of the West German Broadcasting Corporation (WDR).
In trying to reach an agreement, “we’ve come where we’ve never been.” That’s why he doesn’t want to give up optimism “before it finally doesn’t work out.” There should be close cooperation between the states on the external borders and all others. A meeting between the Federal Chancellor and French President Emmanuel Macron was planned for Tuesday evening in Potsdam. It may also be about how an agreement on the asylum system can be found on Thursday.
