Colour me skeptical. Under Merkel's leadership, anyone who disagreed risked a (proverbial) knife in the back. AKK is at heart a family person, and such people usually care a great deal about the future their children will face.

I doubt that she wants her sons conscripted into a European army (and perhaps sent to subjugate Hungary or Catalonia), or beheaded by an culture enriching migrant.

I suspect that when Merkel leaves the stage, her successor will initiate some radical changes.
