German Chancellor Angela Merkel has been described as “the pianist on board the Titanic” by senior lawmaker – and former minister – Peter Ramsauer, who says her handling of the refugee crisis has made her unelectable in the 2017 vote for Chancellor.
Ramsauer, who served as the Federal Minister of Transport, Building and Urban Development in the second Merkel cabinet and who represents the Christian Social Union in Bavaria (CSU), the German Chancellor’s sister-party in the Union, said Sunday’s regional election results were “devastating” for the party.
He said anyone who thought the result was anything other than a disaster was deceiving themselves. Merkel described the vote as a “difficult day.” Ramsauer told Die Welt:
“This reminds me of the pianists on the Titanic. They played to the end but were flooded anyway. Whoever now speaks beautifully about the election results in the same way makes people more furious.”
