Germany's potential makes up about 20% of the EU's overall economic power, including Great Britain. The German army is by no means strong enough to guarantee the security of the EU's two endangered flanks - in the east and in the south. So all that remains for Germany is partnerships with its neighbours and other EU member states. Germany should stick to that role.

I would like to hear from Chancellor Merkel what she was thinking when opening the borders. I cannot imagine at all what it was.

Angela Merkel is the best solution for Poland.

A single party is ruling in Hungary, but democracy and the freedom of speech are still in place.

There cannot be a federal state of Europe without all citizens receiving the same benefits and rights.

In Poland, nobody is arrested or persecuted for political reasons.

The Germans are indeed the economically and politically strongest power in Europe. But their superiority does not equal the past and present superiority of the Americans.
