OSNABRÜCK (dpa-AFX) – “Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung” on Lindner’s refugee statement:
“Even if Lindner actually only refers to existing rules and does not demand an immediate withdrawal of the right to remain, he is still in the same vein as many a Union politician who was already delving into repatriation fantasies when Assad’s chair was not yet cold. The basic tenor is in any case the same: dictator gone, problems gone, Syrians can go home with peace of mind. It’s almost hair-raising that politics is being carried out in all seriousness with such cheap arguments not all out of fear of AfD electoral success.”/yyzz/DP/he
