Merkel mauled by AfD Leader, told not to punish Brexit Britain

 

Angela Merkel has been put back into her box in a big way by the leader of Germany’s second most popular party, the AfD.

Alice Weidel slammed Merkel’s approach to Brexit, saying Germany shouldn’t be punishing Brexit Britain, saying the EU is afraid other countries will leave now they’ve seen Project Fear predictions were wrong.

After Brexit

BERLIN/LONDON (Own report) – Initial outlines of Berlin’s possible reaction to Britain’s EU exit (“Brexit”) are beginning to seep out to the public. According to a report, government circles, who themselves see no reason to fear the turbulences of the financial markets, are hoping that these will persuade a sufficient number of the British to vote in favor of “remaining.” If this does not work, and the British opt for the Brexit, drastic measures should not be excluded. To avoid negative effects on the German economy, some members of the administration are pleading in favor of granting the UK an EU-associate status, similar to that of Norway. However, “a front should be established” to prevent other EU members from following suit and converting to an associate status. The transition to a “core Europe” remains an option and a discussion of it could be initiated at the end of this week. The foreign ministers of the six EU founding countries have planned an exclusive meeting to discuss the consequences of the British referendum.
