Reuters: Hit by new wave of refugees, Germany warns EU partners
Struggling to cope with record numbers of asylum seekers, Germany told its European partners on Monday they too must take in more refugees, as police in Hungary used pepper spray on desperate migrants who broke out of a reception center at the border.
Chancellor Angela Merkel, speaking after a weekend in which 20,000 migrants entered Germany from Hungary by train, bus and on foot, described the influx as "breathtaking" and tried to reassure German citizens that the crisis was manageable.
"I am happy that Germany has become a country that many people outside of Germany now associate with hope," she said at a news conference in Berlin.
