Chancellor Angela Merkel said Europe has a duty to shelter refugees, rebuffing Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban who blamed the region’s biggest flood of migrants since World War II on Germany opening its doors too widely.
“Germany is doing what is morally and legally required of us, no more and no less,” Merkel said when asked during a visit to Switzerland on Thursday about Orban’s remarks. “That’s why this problem concerns all of us in Europe.”
