‘Merkel collapse would trigger uncontrollable breakup’ EU fear German swing to the right
THE biggest threat to the EU is the imminent collapse of Angela Merkel’s fragile coalition, which would lead to a Europe-wide breakup “in an uncontrollable way” according to a leading left-wing and pro-EU commentator.

The political instability that has rocked the German government could set in motion the breakup of the European Union, according to Paul Mason, a left-wing commentator.
Angela Merkel faces a make-or-break week as German Chancellor, after leading figures in her sister party, the Christian Social Union, gave her a stark ultimatum.
The German leader will then face a choice between a humiliating climbdown on migration policy, or firing her interior minister, which would likely trigger a government collapse.
Mason explained: “I think the big danger in all of our nightmares whether you are pro- or anti-European Union, the nightmare is that it breaks up in an uncontrollable way.
“The way it does that is if the Merkel government falls and switches to the right, as the Austrian government did.
“Alexander Dobrindt, the leader of the CSU, the sister party of Merkel’s, has come out really strongly with this Austrian and Italian line and that is undermining Merkel’s authority.”
