Resumen
Descripción
En 2015, la denominada “crisis de refugiados” alcanzó su punto más crítico cuando miles de personas huyeron de sus países de origen y se dirigieron, entre otros destinos, al continente europeo en busca de protección internacional. Sin embargo, los Estados miembros de la Unión Europea se caracterizaron por llevar a cabo una política anti migratoria. En este contexto, Ángela Merkel destacó que Alemania tenía la “responsabilidad humanitaria” de ayudar a los refugiados, manifestando, a través de la política exterior, la imagen del Estado como un importante “país de inmigración”. El liderazgo de la canciller y su propio estilo diplomático contribuyeron al desarrollo de una política más acogedora respecto a aquellas personas necesitadas de refugio. Pero también a manifestar una identidad nacional alemana basada en la “diferenciación con su pasado”, que guió una nueva faceta de la política exterior centrada en valores.
