ドイツのメルケル首相、ドイツにおける「多文化共生主義」の失敗を宣言 英・ガーディアン、17日
Chancellor Angela Merkel has declared the death of multiculturalism in Germany, saying that it had "failed utterly" , in
what has been interpreted as a startling shift from her previous views. The German leader said it had been an illusion to
think that Germans and foreign workers could "live happily side by side.
ドイツのメルケル首相は、ドイツにおける「多文化共生主義」が「完全に失敗した」と述べた。首相はドイツ国内で外国人
労働者が、ドイツの社会と互いに共生して上手くやって行けるとする考えは幻想に過ぎない、と述べた。
"We kidded ourselves for a while that they wouldn't stay, but that's not the reality," she said at a conference of the
youth wing of her Christian Democratic Union party at the weekend, referring to the gastarbeiters, or guest workers,
who arrived in Germany to fill a labour shortage during the economic boom of the 1960s.
「我々は、自分自身を欺いて、そういうふうにやって行けるとしていたが、それは現実と異なる」と首相はCDUの青年部会
で述べた。首相は1960年以降のドイツの労働力不足を外国人労働者で補うという従来の政権の考えを批判したもの。
"Of course the tendency had been to say, 'let's adopt the multicultural concept and live happily side by side, and be
happy to be living with each other'. But this concept has failed, and failed utterly," she said, without elaborating on the
nature and causes of this failure.
「多文化共生という考え方では、異なる背景を持つ外国人労働者とドイツ社会が上手くやって行けるとして、それを目指した
のだが、この概念は完全に失敗した」と首相は述べた。（後略）
