[Full speech] “We must fight terror” – Angela Merkel – YouTube
Merkel said that Germany will “stick to our principles” and give shelter to those who deserve it. She said, though, that the fact two men who came to Germany seeking shelter carried out attacks claimed by IS “mocks the country that took them in.”
Merkel said she will stick to her insistence last year that Germany “will manage” the challenges it faces. The government, she added, “will do everything humanly possible to ensure security in our free, democratic state of law.”
“The fact that the events caused great insecurity … fear, isn’t in question. But fear can’t be a good counsel for political action,” she said.
