Reuters: Merkel says German multiculturalism has failed
POTSDAM, Germany (Reuters) - Germany’s attempt to create a multicultural society has “utterly failed,” Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Saturday, adding fuel to a debate over immigration and Islam polarizing her conservative camp.
Speaking to a meeting of young members of her Christian Democrats (CDU), Merkel said allowing people of different cultural backgrounds to live side by side without integrating had not worked in a country that is home to some four million Muslims.
“This (multicultural) approach has failed, utterly failed,” Merkel told the meeting in Potsdam, south of Berlin.
Merkel faces pressure from within her CDU to take a tougher line on immigrants who don’t show a willingness to adapt to German society and her comments appeared intended to pacify her critics.

WNU Editor: All my European friends have been telling me for years that this progressive experiment in multiculturalism has been a dismal failure. Chancellor Angela Merkel is five years late. But I guess this debate depends on one's perspective. If you favour ethnic enclaves and ghettos then multiculturalism is a success. If you favour melting pots and cultural cohesion it is a failure. I live in Canada and it prides itself to be a multicultural society. But what I see in the Montreal suburb where I live in is the formation of ethnic/cultural ghettos, and a great deal of animosity .... especially among the French majority and its minority/immigrant communities. Is this progress .... no. And it is definitely not a success. But the political and media narrative is completely different.

She's an embarrassment
She said - without having a plan in place and letting in 1 million people with vastly different culture and ethics and no proper place to stay and no work and no education. ..she said "we can do it".
Sure ,of course the Germans could have done it. .but she's the leader and did not lead at all. She did nothing and crime rose and women got raped and on and on .. is there one competent and not batshit crazy woman in leadership? Merkel also fcked up the German military which is at the rock bottom of its history (in fighting power), demoralised, underfunded etc
On top she makes these massive oil deals with Russia (Putin! ) all while claiming Trump is the Russian asset. You have to be shitting me. ..she almost destroyed the EU with her immigration policy - the Brits left after they saw what she did. No one wanted it and she did it still. It's the same as when Erdogan threatened to flood the EU with refugees, only she did it for real
This woman. We need less of her and more proper leaders (not saying don't help refugees, OF COURSE help them but do it with a plan and fully knowing what you ask of the people who voted you into office)..on top police was apparently instructed to fake and underreport crime stats related to this and on and on
How is -Merkel- not a Russian asset?
She nearly destroyed EU, undermines its military readiness and on top gives Putin that oil money.I used to like her a lot but now. .ffs can't wait till she's out of office and I'm not even living in Germany but I know many who want her gone
Certainly ever since that temple of Babble event.
Unless these third world residents a climate themselves to first world norms while still residing in the third world, the shock of first world life is to mind boggling to assimilate.. Told to me by a former third world resident.
Look at the date when she said that: 2010! Sounds like campaign rhetoric to me.
