BEIJING, Oct.26 (Xinhuanet) -- Facing an unprecedented number of migrants and refugees, Germany has adopted tougher asylum rules, a week ahead of schedule. Under the new laws, asylum seekers will be required to stay longer in reception centers, while economic migrants from south-eastern Europe will face quicker repatriation.
The new asylum rules come as Chancellor Angela Merkel faces pressure from an increasingly disgruntled German public. Earlier, our correspondent Guy Henderson in Berlin told us that a recent poll revealed support for Merkel's bloc has reached a three-year low.
