Leadership, Angela Merkel, EU Policy, Germany, Europe, migrant crisis, refugees, role and position of womenAbstract
The migrant crisis has caused divisions between the Member States of the European Union more than ever. The number of migrants' mortality at the European borders has shown the world that the European Union has failed to find a common solution for the crisis.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, on the one hand, plays a central role in the European Union's efforts to formulate a common response. On the other hand, mainly Eastern European groups, led by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, are actively opposed to every aspect of that plan.
This text talks about the response of the European Union and the Federal Republic of Germany to the migrant crisis and the main role that Angela Merkel has in her. The German Chancellor has always been a leading figure in the EU, however, her attitude has become even stronger in the context of the refugee issue. Of course, this position had its political preference in the elections.
Also, there is a brief overview of the position of women in society through history and their activism in political life, which has not changed much nowadays.
