- Dieter Reiter declares 2015 a "moment of brilliance"
In the heart of Bavaria, Munich has become a beacon of hospitality and compassion over the past decade. This is according to Mayor Dieter Reiter, who has been a steadfast advocate for the city's open-door policy towards refugees.
Ten years ago, the arrival of Syrian refugees at Munich Central Station marked a significant moment in the city's history. Reiter recalls this instant with pride, describing it as a moment of pride for the city. Approximately 67,000 refugees arrived within a few days, with over 10,000 arriving on a single Saturday. The general sentiment among the people of Munich was that the arrival was not wrong, Reiter notes.
Reiter believes that the economic strength of cities should not play a role in distributing refugees. He argues that cities' hospitals and retirement homes cannot function without migrants. A community that is not as economically strong but has plenty of space could take in more refugees than Munich, he suggests.
The response of the people of Munich to the arrival of refugees from Ukraine in 2022 has been similarly positive, Reiter notes. He views this as indicative of the city's attitude towards such events. Reiter is proud of how Munich has responded to the influx of refugees, and he believes that the people of Munich would have reacted similarly in 2022 when welcoming refugees from Ukraine.
Reiter cannot understand the debate about an upper limit for migration. He reaffirms that there is no upper limit for humanity. He emphasizes that immigration is necessary and that he does not know any restaurateur who wants all migrants to leave.
The whole world noticed how well the situation was handled in Munich, according to Reiter. He states that he perceives a "certain grumbling" about the arrival of refugees in Munich, but he believes that this is a small voice in the face of the city's overwhelming welcome.
Reiter considers the arrival of Syrian refugees a significant moment for the society of Munich. He argues that the city's open-door policy has enriched the city's culture and economy. He views the debate about an upper limit for migration as a misguided one, and he encourages other cities to follow Munich's lead in welcoming refugees with open arms.
In conclusion, Mayor Dieter Reiter of Munich celebrates the city's response to the arrival of Syrian refugees ten years ago as a "moment of glory." He believes that the city's open-door policy has enriched the city's culture and economy, and he encourages other cities to follow Munich's lead in welcoming refugees with open arms.
