The bloody carnage at a Berlin Christmas market, with an... asylum-seeker as the chief suspect, immediately emboldened right-wing populist critics of Chancellor Angela Merkel's liberal refugee policy.
Merkel has been under fire over her decision... to let in tens of thousands fleeing war and poverty from mostly Arab and Muslim nations. The arrival of a million people over the past two years has deeply polarised society, and the German leader has said that next year's election would be "more difficult" than any other she has contested. [Migrants predominantly male of wartime age.]
Hours after the attack that claimed at least 12 lives, Merkel admitted: "I know it will be especially hard for us to take if it is confirmed that the person who committed this attack sought protection and asylum in Germany".
The ... populist party AfD wasted no time in laying the blame on Merkel. "The milieu in which such acts can flourish has been negligently and systematically imported over the past year and a half," [said] the group's co-leader Frauke Petry... a clear reference to Merkel's decision to let in refugees.
"Germany is no longer safe. It should be the responsibility of the chancellor to tell you this. But since she won't do it, then I'll say it," Petry declared, demanding "control over our territory, no ifs and buts".
Marcus Pretzell, also an AfD lawmaker... went as far as to label the victims of the Christmas market "Merkel's dead."

Merkel is deliberately destroying Germany in the name of diversity.
The article refers to the AfD as the "Islamophobic and anti-immigration populist party" and that was edited from the article for to balance deceitful reporting by MSN
DAMN those populist critics and their violent pouncing! Jail the pouncing populists!
Give that headline writer an “A” for propaganda. A known ISIS supporter who was being monitored by German intelligence kills a bunch of people and then disappears, but the takeaway is that these “critics” are using this tragedy to “pounce” on poor Angela Merkel
If you observe Islamic terrorism in those beautiful Christmas markets, and think maybe your nation is on the wrong path, you are a “populist critic”.
Is it true that Merkel was an East German communist back in her Fraulein days?
The only way to reverse this situation is through a quasi civil war of deporting criminals. That ain’t gonna happen. Germany would be attacked for returning to its Nazi roots. An individual by individual guessing game is the best of the possibilities.
Protesting outside Merkel’s office , no way , LOL
The AdF Party (Wiki)
At the party congress 2016, the AfD adopted a policy platform based upon opposition to Islam, calling for the ban of Islamic symbols including burkhas, minarets and the call to prayer, using the slogan “Islam is not a part of Germany”.
Ideology and policies
The AfD founded as a centre-right conservative party of the middle class with a basis on ‘soft’ Euroscepticism, generally supportive of Germany’s membership of the EU but critical of further European integration, the existence of the euro currency, and bailouts by the eurozone for countries (Greece). The party also advocated support for Swiss-style direct democracy, dissolution of the Eurozone, opposition to immigration, and opposed gay marriage.
Family & equal opportunities: the party wants to reintroduce the traditional family patterns. Die Tageszeitung entitled objectives as ‘old gender roles’.
Environment: The party denies anthropogenic factors in the role of global warming. Therefore the party criticizes the energy transformation policies (Energiewende) in Germany; for instance, the party wants to stop “uncontrolled expansion of wind energy”
Angela Merkel ‘turned down’ job from Stasi - Telegraph
www.telegraph.co.uk/.../Angela-Merkel-turned-down-job-from-Stasi.html
Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, has said communist East Germany’s Stasi secret police tried to recruit her when she was applying for a job at a ...
Ja ja, and this imported crime wave has the power to finally do the old bid in.
But that’s AFTER she’s already destroyed the German Nuclear Industry, which was doing fine with an excellent safety record until Merkel panicked after Fukushima and shut the whole thing down – effectively forcing Germany to become totally dependent on Russian fuels. Brilliant move there, Mutti.
And the refugee fiasco could do real, lasting damage to the country unless people there get real serious this election and finally give the boot to the idiots that are running things now … but given the past history of German voter wimpiness, things don’t look good
How many markets have Merkel’s “populist” critics driven into killing scores and winning many more?
The press needs to tone down the demonizing of Merkel’s critics, and think about the absolute truth of their statements.
,..and wounding many more!
Sorry about that folks...
She will likely win reelection in spite of this tragedy. Only a few are speaking out and the Afd is a growing but small party.
If the people speak out against the invasion and begin networking to protest they are raided by jackboots that seize their phones and laptops. Free speech regarding migrants is labelled as hate speech and the precursor to treason.
Will Germany treat the Middle East’s instability and the resulting emigration as a military crisis. In the aftermath of the November 2015 killings in Paris, President Hollande spoke of war and ordered airstrikes against ISIS jihadis in Syria. Germany’s involvement has been limited to taking in refugees. Not sure why they are allowing the N. African invaders to settle in Germany.
The whole migrant invasion as a humanitarian issue is difficult to beleive because the overwhelming percentage are men of military age. Their leaders, most especially Merkel, have betrayed their countrymen and are imposing the deterioration of Germany.
I saw the German’s piously declaring that Muslim immigrants can’t be blamed for the market massacre. I was waiting for them to say the Jews were behind it.
More research in the German papers has revealed that they are hopeless. They are advised not to react and continue on business as usual. They fail to connect cause and effect and the consequences of their door mat policies.
It’s all Kum-bay-ya.
Does anyone recall that the jihadis were outraged that none of their attacks were being acknowledged so they kept escalating, prior to 9/11, with “chatter” published that now we couldn’t deny it? Pretending it never happened will only lead to bigger, more horrific attacks.
This was a few days ago. They are activated right now. We are at increased risk through the season.
