According to Berlin, the refusal to meet is now the Federal state of Thuringia. "I don't understand how you can ignore the willingness of the countries to help the people in greatest Need," she said on Friday in a press release. "The Federal government would do well to promote the offers of humanitarian aid for the stranded people on the European continent instead of hindering you." Seehofer had rejected a request from the Thuringian state government, which wanted to absorb the 500 refugees from the Greek Camps. From the beginning, the project was subject to the approval of the Federal government. Already a few days ago Seehofer had granted a request by the state of Berlin a cancellation.
