As the country is rocked by terror attacks and sex assaults stoking social divisions not seen since war time Germany, Horst Seehofer, the leader of the conservative Christian Social Union (CSU) is calling on Merkel to implement a refugee cap.
The CSU’s relationship with Angela Merkel and her Christian Democratic Union (CDU) Party hangs in the balance as the public turns on their liberal migration policy.
The Chancellor insisted Syrians and other migrants would easily be integrated in German society when she announced they would be welcome in her country.
But Mr Seehofer is ignoring her objections, and insists on a limit of 200,000 refugees per year.
He acknowledged the two parties, who form the conservative “Union” bloc, still have differences to resolve, but Mr Seehofer kept up pressure on Merkel to toughen her stance on migrants.
