The problem here is that if you went down to a local German pub with working-class Germans....it’d be awful hard to find anyone who agrees much with Merkel. Course, they’d also tell you they have agreement problems with several of the national parties in Germany. The idea of handing over ‘powers’ to Brussels? I doubt if you could find 20-percent of Germans who’d agree that hooking up with the EU as total ‘boss’ is a wise idea.
These EU guys are the one who drafted up and wrote a regulation on the wattage maximum that you can use for vacuum cleaners. Everyone laughed when that came out...but they didn’t back down.
I've seen this article several times on FR but I've searched far and wide and see NO mention of Merkel's comment about yielding sovereignty elsewhere...not on the BBC, DW, even Fox hasn't a link to the article. Maybe the translation is bad and Merkel didn't say what Breitbart etc said she said...Or maybe the mask accidentally came off?
