(Fox News) German Chancellor Angela Merkel in September tried to push through a plan that would allow refugees to be trained and hired as truck drivers – just months before a truck was used by a suspected asylum-seeker to mow down civilians during Monday’s Berlin terror attack.
Merkel encouraged companies to hire refugees – even if they hadn’t yet been granted asylum – as drivers and also wanted to make it cheaper for migrants to trade in their foreign driver’s license for a German one, The Daily Express reported.
“We all need to be ready to implement practical solutions,” Merkel said when introducing the idea.
