Germany’s far-right has blamed Angela Merkel’s open door refugee policy for the Berlin Christmas market attack.
A leading member of the anti-immigration AFD party, Marcus Pretzell, could face possible police action after he denounced the Chancellor via social media website Twitter, stating: ‘‘These are Merkel’s Dead”!
