Germany’s coalition of ruling parties finally reached an agreement on an immigration plan Thursday after weeks of drama and disagreements.

Merkel and Seehofer seemed satisfied with this deal on Monday until the SDP squashed the proposal on Tuesday, disagreeing with the idea of holding immigrants in such centers. (Merkel’s Immigrant Woes Not Finished Yet, Hanging On Approval From Social Democrats, EU)
