MERKEL: HOW LONG CAN SHE LAST ?


The opposition Chancellor Merkel is facing in Germany and in the EU, from dissatisfied Politicians over her handling of  Immigrants and refugees, is mounting daily.

The latest example is the reaction of the Regional  District Councillor of the Bavarian town of Landshut, Peter Dreier, who put 31 refugees on a bus and sent them to Angela Merkel's office in Berlin !  

This crystallises the changing mood in Germany, with the daily arrivals of thousands of "migrants".  They are not just "refugees" from the Middle East, which Merkel invited with open arms in September 2015, but also would-be "immigrants" from other "hot spots" in the World like Afghanistan.  Some are escaping only for "economic reasons".

The mood is also changing in the EU.  At all recent elections Parties on the extreme Right have increased their shares of the vote.  Some countries have already built fencing on their borders to keep all migrants out !   

What would Merkel do if all the dissatisfied Mayors in Germany and in the EU, also sent bus loads of migrants to Berlin for her attention ?  How would her Coalition partners react, or would they do nothing ?
