Were politicians bored?
Is that why they set policies that would create problems so that they could exert more control over the people?
Or maybe they just wanted more control? more power?
Create problems so that they can have more control in the name of security?
Were politicians bored?Good questions. I do not know. My favorite explanation is: Merkel is a cynic. She does not believe in anything at all. She cares about one thing only: Power. To stay in power, she needs to win elections. Her strategy has always been to adopt and implement herself every policy that left-wingers come up with, to steal their voters, sure that rightwingers are always going to vote for her, anyway.Is that why they set policies that would create problems so that they could exert more control over the people?

It used to work wonderfully, until now. Now people are really pissed off (except leftwing radicals), and more and more people are willing to vote for a new rightwing party like the AfD (Alternative für Deutschland). Her first attempt at fighting this development has been to demonize all opposition, from AfD to Pegida. But that does not seem to work all that well, anymore. So, I hope this is going to be her downfall.
