Germany: Merkel Compromise

Chancellor Angela Merkel and Bavarian conservative leader Horst Seehofer have reached a deal on migrant policy that could save the governing coalition.

The basic story: after two weeks of hyped up activity over the asylum issues, a compromise effort was made between two of the three coalition players in the German government. The third partner? Well, that's yet to play out, and there is some doubt that the SPD Party will agree to this. So the collapse talk of the current government will continue for another ten days until the SPD agrees with the situation.

All of this goes back to the Sep 2017 national election, where the news media and political parties skipped the whole chat on a national migration/asylum policy.

Another pol sells out to Merkel and her EU Agenda.

She is so despicable.

More “kick the can down the road” with no leadership around. No real decisions but just another band aid to keep the government together.

The state elections in the Fall should be very revealing.

Just my 2¢

Merkel and the EU are the two cons in a global game of three-card monte. They switch playing good-cop/bad-cop with the German people, the end result always being that Merkel stays in power while the immigration faucet remains turned to “flood”.

There is no hope for Germany unless the people turn en masse to AfD starting this fall in Bavaria.
