Angela Merkel yesterday described the concept of multiculturalism as 'living a lie' and finally admitted it was time to end the relentless flow of refugees into Europe.
The German Chancellor confessed her country would be ‘overwhelmed’ unless she took action as the number of asylum-seekers arriving there this year topped one million.
Since she dramatically opened Germany’s doors to refugees in August, the continent has been besieged with hundreds of thousands of people wanting to get there.
But ahead of an EU summit on Thursday, she restated her long-term opposition to multi-culturalism, saying: ‘Multi-kulti leads to parallel societies and is a living lie. Integration is the opposite.’
Endless tide: Refugees heading for Germany in their thousands after the country's Chancellor flung open the doors in August
German Chancellor Angela Merkel told her party faithful Germany would be 'overwhelmed in the long run' unless the numbers of refugees entering the country were significantly reduced
In the face of mounting anger from members of her own Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party and among European leaders in neighbouring countries or those bordering the EU, Mrs Merkel yesterday vowed to stem the flow of people.
Speaking to the party faithful at its annual conference, she repeated her catchphrase from throughout the migrant crisis, ‘we can do this’, but effectively admitted Germany could only cope if she wrestled back control of the influx.
‘A continuation of the current influx would in the long-term overwhelm the state and society, even in a country like Germany,’ she said.
The leader, once known as the ‘Iron Chancellor’, won rapturous applause after announcing the volte face. However, she resisted calls to set a limit on the number of arrivals.
‘We want to, and we will, noticeably reduce the number of refugees,’ she told the conference in Karlsruhe. ‘With an approach focused on the German, European and global level, we will succeed in regulating and limiting migration.’
Mrs Merkel attempted to defend her August decision, which drew hundreds of thousands to Europe, claiming it was a ‘humanitarian imperative’. She appealed to the party’s sense of history, saying that the same strength that allowed it ‘to rebuild from the rubble of the war to create the economic miracle, and to go from division to a reunified country’ would get Germany through the crisis.
She said she was banking on a multi-pronged approach to cut migrant numbers, urging bolstered protection for the bloc’s external borders, support for Turkey to host refugees long-term and a long-shot bid for a distribution scheme among EU member states.
She also touted a range of measures already undertaken in Germany including speeding up the deportation of failed asylum applicants. Mrs Merkel, who has been the country’s leader for a decade, tried to paint an upbeat vision saying it was no longer the ‘sick man of Europe’ and ‘should be a country that is open, curious, tolerant and even exciting’.
At the end of the speech there was an eight-minute standing ovation that came to an end only when Mrs Merkel returned to the microphone to ask people to stop. But the Protestant pastor’s daughter, who grew up in communist East Germany, has seen support for her party fall since the refugee crisis erupted in the late summer.

Mrs Merkel received a standing ovation for comments on the migration crisis, which comes just days after she was named Time's Person of the Year for her attempts to address the problem
The European Commission will today set out controversial plans for an EU border and coastguard force that would have the power to act in countries without their consent. Some are likely to resist the plan, which will not affect Britain because it is not a part of the border-free Schengen Zone.
In Greece the EU has pledged to spend £58million to house migrants even as it seeks tougher procedures for asylum-seekers travelling to the continent. A rent subsidy programme will support up to 20,000 people next year.
Thousands of stranded refugees are currently staying in old venues from the 2004 Olympics, at camps on Greek islands or in tents pitched in city squares and parks in Athens. (4 images)

" Angela Merkel faces plunging poll numbers and rising violence in Germany "
Gee, really?
" The German Chancellor promised to reduce numbers entering the country If they were not she warned the country would eventually be 'overwhelmed' "
So the stupid bitch is claiming she is going to clean up the massive mess she created? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
This is another example of the idiots running the country into the ground. Sound familiar?

There are two possibilities/probabilities that occur to me.
One is that she and her handlers have decided they have already imported enough Muslims into Germany to insure their party remains in power by getting them registered to vote.
The second,and related possibility/probability is that this is a step to get the ones already there agitated and activated to start a campaign of protests and riots to open the borders so their relatives back home in Rapeagoatastan get full passes to immigrate to Germany.
Communists have always used internal wars as a way to weaken countries and take over control. All it will take is for a few thousand Germans to start fighting back during the riots and the screams of "NAZI'S!" will be heard far and wide,despite the fact that the Nazi's and the Muslims were allies in WW-2.
Obomber is doing the same there here in the US. The only difference is that here it will be cries of "KKK Racists!"

American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.

No,she is claiming she is going to keep the status quo as is in order to not get tossed out of office.
I am sure there will be Muslim riots after the next election over this,and there will be agreements to bring in any and all relatives of Muslims already living there. Which means they will be coming in under another type of program (family immigrations) than the refugee immigration plan they have been coming in on.

They are not idiots. At least not the ones at the top. They are doing this in order to obtain dictatorial power for themselves. Sure,it might only last a generation or two while the Muslims are breeding like the rats they are and become a majority of the voting population,but by then they will be worth billions,and can leave Germany and buy estates in places like South America,where it will be safe for them.
She doesn't care any more about Germany than Obomber cares about America.

How much is she planning to reduce the number by, ten? If the Germans have any trust in somebody who has supposedly turned has back on everything she firmly believed in five months ago, they are nuts. She'll revert to being the same asshole she was then in a second.

Apparently, they all go to Berlin, thence hither and you.
According to the Slimes, here's where they were at some point in time:
