Merkeljewitz muss geht ! - Merkel Slams Anti-Immigration ‘Rowdies’ for Disrupting Election
Arne Delfs •
German Chancellor Angela Merkel called anti-immigration demonstrators “rowdies” driven by intolerance, her strongest reaction yet to protests that have disrupted many of her election rallies this summer.
Just over two weeks before the German ballot, Merkel addressed her increasingly aggressive enemies from the Alternative for Germany party, or AfD, and the far-right National Democratic Party, head-on. A day earlier, protesters shouting “get out of here” threw tomatoes at the official car taking her to a rally on the Baltic seacoast.

“A lot of them, usually from the AfD and the NPD, come simply with goal of making it hard for others to listen,” Merkel said at an event at her party’s campaign headquarters in Berlin on Saturday. “So I hope that the people who come to listen will also have their say, not just those who are rowdies and show up to whistle and shout.”

While Merkel’s Christian Democratic-led bloc leads challenger Martin Schulz’s Social Democrats by as many as 16 percentage points in polls, the small but steady protests underscore the well of discontent over her liberal refugee policy that’s shifting Germany’s political landscape, even as she seeks a fourth term as chancellor on a platform of stability. https://www.yahoo.com/ www.yahoo.com/
