100 days after Glöckner had started her Bundestag mandate, in March 2015, she announced to the Pirmasenser Zeitung that in view of the great need, she considers EU refugee camps in North Africa to be necessary in order to stop trafficking gangs. In addition, the federal government would, of course, be obliged to support municipalities in the accommodation of refugees.[9]

Although she had voted in favor of the second Greek aid package, she also expected action from the new Greek government instead of words in implementing the austerity measures. "Only as long as the country fulfills its obligations, can it expect a concession," said Glöckner to the newspaper.[9]
