A little Christmas break in politics, too. Like in many other countries, too, in Germany there is each year a speech for Christmas held by the German president. This year Bundespräsident Joachim Gauck talked mainly about the refugee crisis, thanked the professional and volunteer helpers, and called for discussions and to work on solutions.

(PS: Each year the German chancellor/Bundeskanzler will hold the „Neujahrsansprache“ on Dec 31st)
