1, Longtime Merkel critic resigns from CDU over migrants
Erika Steinbach, who’s been with Chancellor Merkel’s CDU for 43 years, has strongly criticized the leader’s handling of the migrant crisis. She claims conservatives have been sidelined in Germany’s main ruling party.
Steinbach, who is the Christian Democrats Union’s (CDU’s) human rights spokesperson, has stepped down from the party, she revealed in an interview with a German newspaper on Saturday.
The 73-year-old has fallen out several times with Chancellor Angela Merkel over the German leader’s “open door” policy towards migrants, which saw nearly 1.2 million new migrants reach the country over two years.
(Ontarians will know the feeling well of a Conservative party alienating its conservative candidates. In the case of the Ontario PC party, a significant number of candidates who had actual conservative values have been replaced with hand picked pro-Islamic and far left leaning candidates, some of whom were actual Liberals till this upcoming election, and have not renounced any of those values or policies)
