No Plan B

On 28 February 2016, Chancellor Angela Merkel was interviewed on the talk show Anne Will about her refugee policy. The question was Wann steuern Sie um, Frau Merkel?, when will you change course, Mrs. Merkel? She replied that she was deeply convinced that the path she had taken was right. An English-language report quoted her as saying: “I have no plan B.” German reports give the remark only in indirect speech: Einen Plan B habe sie nicht, she had no plan B.
