Germany, the destination of choice for many of the migrants entering Europe, is facing questions on how it will deal with the influx. Refugees have been entering at a rate of 1,800 per day from the Austrian border, despite border restrictions enforced since Sunday. The face of Germany has been changing for decades and in few places is it more obvious than in this neighborhood around Munich's main train station. Hundreds of migrants keep arriving at the station each day. Local officials are proud of how they're coping. "During 14 days we've got about 70,000 refugees coming and arriving here in Munich. To give them shelter within hours, to give them medical care, it's an extreme task and I think we did it quite well," Christoph Hillenbrand, president of the Upper Bavaria government told VOA. But with the classic face of Germany giving way to a multicultural Germany, there is some unease, along with the urge to help. "We already have a lot of unemployed people here. And how should they all be able to find a job? They hardly speak any German. I really wonder," one Munich resident remarked. National guilt That skepticism feeds the arguments of far-right politicians who say it is national guilt that is driving Germany's current welcoming attitude toward people of a culture very different, and one that some believe could one day become a majority. |
