(ANS - Berlin) – “I have the greatest respect” for all those involved in Don-Bosco-Zentrum. This is what the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, said during her visit to the Salesian Centre on Tuesday 22 March.  "This is something that we cannot regulate by law,” she said in front of more than 80 journalists. “We can make available a basic subsidy, but taking into account every situation of life is a service that politics alone is incapable of. It needs people with a big heart.”
