Merkel faces party revolt over UN migration pact
Merkel faces party revolt over UN migration pact
Nov 10, 20187:38 am By Christine Douglass-Williams
Last January, UN Secretary General António Guterres unveiled his plan to promote mass migration into Europe. He made the claim that “mass migration powers economic growth, reduces inequalities and connects diverse societies.”
The UN Migration Pact is touted as a solution to the migration crisis, but the agenda remains the same: the globalist aim to implement a utopian vision that migrants will assimilate and compensate for the low birthrates of Western countries. This irrational vision not only divides the EU, but also the Americas. Canada plans to “lead the charge,” while Trump has withdrawn from the Pact. And in Europe, Poland and Hungary have also left, and the EU is now slamming Austria for exiting. The Czech Republic is preparing to withdraw its support also, and now in Germany, “Angela Merkel is facing a revolt within her Christian Democratic Union as prominent members begin to oppose the UN migration pact.”
Merkel is set to step down in a few years. “One of the most prominent critics of the UN migration pact within the CDU has been Federal Minister of Health Jens Spahn, a conservative leader within the party who has put himself forward as a successor” to Merkel. Spahn, unlike Merkel, has prioritized the sovereignty of Germany and seeks to put limitations on migration. But in the meantime, Germany still faces the problems of the massive numbers of Muslim migrants that Merkel has admitted, as well as the hundreds of thousands of migrants of which it has lost track.

“Merkel Faces Internal Party Conflict Over UN Migrant Pact,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, November 8, 2018:
German Chancellor Angela Merkel is facing a revolt within her Christian Democratic Union (CDU) as prominent members begin to oppose the UN migration pact recently rejected by several other countries.
Chancellor Merkel, who recently revealed that she would be stepping down as leader of the CDU next month, is facing challenges over her support for the controversial migrant pact from the more conservative element within the party, Kronen Zeitung reports.
One of the most prominent critics of the UN migration pact within the CDU has been Federal Minister of Health Jens Spahn, a conservative leader within the party who has put himself forward as a successor to Dr Merkel as party leader.
“The debate on the migration pact is still pending in the parliamentary group,” Spahn said over the weekend and added, “It is important that Germany retains its sovereignty to control and limit migration.”
Federal Chairman of the Values Union, a conservative group with the CDU, Alexander Mitsch also criticised Merkel saying, “After years of left-leaning and social democratisation under Merkel, the Union now has to regain a clear conservative profile.”
CDU Saxony Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer slammed the Merkel government for not providing a public debate on the migration pact saying that a lack of debate would only further help the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD).
“How can you act so technocratically with such a sensitive topic? The lesson from 2015 must be for the Federal Government: maximum transparency, information and discussion in Parliament and the public,” he said.
The Saxony CDU recently opened up the possibility of a coalition with the AfD following the region’s local election next year which was quickly slammed by Chancellor Merkel and CDU General Secretary Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer who said, “There will be no cooperation or coalition with the AfD. This is the decision in the Presidium and Federal Executive of the CDU.”….
