    Europe Put to the Test by Influx of Migrants
    in Federalist Debate (The) , Year XXIX, Number 2, July 2016 ,  2016
    Europe is exposed to an accumulation of challenges and threats. Of course, today we are understandably obsessed with the migrant tragedy. Angela Merkel’s open-door immigration policy showed a humane side of this female leader who believed she could act single- handedly by imposing her plan without consulting with her European partners, in particular France and Italy. Alone and overtaken by events, she has humbly asked for Erdogan’s forgiveness. By acting without a European mandate, she has managed to place Turkey in a position of strength: the refugees flooding into the Greek islands are to be sent back to Turkey in exchange for financial aid, lifting of visa restrictions and the promise of restarting EU membership talks, which many Members believe will put Europe in danger of being overrun by Turks.
