End of Merkel? German leader pictured minutes after Berlin attack as she honoured migrants

Mrs Merkel was attending an event to promote her failing migrant policy as a lorry was hijacked in Berlin.

She was photographed looking forlorn just seven minutes after the murder of 12 people took place at the Christmas market just three miles away from the scene.

And her own party is now calling the killing of innocent victims a “war” situation saying they will put “machine guns” on the street.

Now as calls for the 62-year-old to resign grow, opposition politicians are calling on the Christian Democrat leader to completely re-evaluate her policy on immigration.
