Turkey's Unexpected Moves May Endanger Merkel's Plans for Next Elections

Turkish authorities are refusing to accept a paragraph in the agreements between the EU, NATO and Ankara, according to which boat refugees rescued by NATO ships are to be returned to Turkey, Sputnik News reports, referring to German newspaper Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten (DWN).

According to the newspaper, if it turns out that the deal with Turkey has not worked, the impact on Merkel's CDU party's prospects to win the next elections would be destructive.

However, negotiations with Turkey are not the only reason that may endanger Merkel's plan. The second factor is considered to be the chaos on the border between Greece and Macedonia, where a great number of refugees are seeking to find a way out of the newly introduced restrictions.

It should be noted that Macedonia has restricted its border policy and allows the transit only to refugees from Syria and Iraq. Asylum seekers from Afghanistan who had previously been "automatically" viewed as refugees are now being forced by Macedonia to return to Greece.
