Ex-Chancellor Merkel Slams Berlin’s Border Ban, Warns Europe’s Future at Risk Over Migration Policy
Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel has issued a stark warning following Germany's new border policies restricting asylum seekers.
Speaking at the Southwestern Press Forum, Merkel criticized the national crackdown led by Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s cabinet, warning it risks destroying the EU’s unity and the Schengen zone.
Calling for “European solutions,” she reaffirmed her support for EU-level migration policy.
The move marks a sharp break from her 2015 open-door stance and comes amid rising right-wing momentum, legal battles, and mounting pressure on German border forces.

Germany is preparing its military for a possible conflict with Russia by 2029, according to a leaked directive. Signed by Bundeswehr chief Carsten Breuer, the order calls for advanced long-range strike systems, enhanced air defense, and stockpiles of ammunition. Chancellor Friedrich Merz also lifted restrictions on weapon range to Ukraine, signaling a strategic shift. Germany plans to boost defense spending to 5% of GDP and may end its volunteer military model. The move comes amid economic strain and restructuring of legacy defense firms like ThyssenKrupp.

The European Union has just taken a bold, unprecedented step by launching the €150 billion ($170 billion) SAFE fund — a massive defense loan instrument aimed at arming Ukraine faster and boosting Europe’s own military production. As Russia’s war drags on and U.S. commitment to European security grows more uncertain, the EU is making it clear: it will no longer depend on America for protection.

Trump’s erratic Ukraine policy has backfired, handing strategic advantage to Vladimir Putin. From praising Russia to undercutting Western efforts, Trump’s shifting stance confused allies and weakened U.S. credibility. Despite promises of peace “in 24 hours,” Putin escalated the war, rejecting Trump’s ceasefire ideas. Key allies, including UK PM Starmer, expressed alarm as U.S. military aid faltered. Trump’s praise, sanction reversals, and attempts to monetize aid left Ukraine vulnerable. With 300 drones and 69 missiles striking Kyiv, Trump's foreign policy gamble has only fueled Russia’s war machine.
