German reception centers to help speed up process of accepting or repatriating refugees
Chancellor Angela Merkel announced the agreement on Thursday to set up three to five reception centers nationwide that would expedite the process of either accepting or repatriating refugees.
For weeks, opposition parties have been urging Merkel to reduce the number of the refugees in the country, saying that local authorities are struggling to deal with the refugee influx.
About 758,000 have already arrived so far this year, with around one million expected to reach the country by the end of 2015.
In addition, Germany is facing pressure from its neighbors eager for Europe’s top economy to take the refugee task off their shoulders.
