Judgment Day for Merkel’s Bloc as Divide Over Migration Hardens
The fate of German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s ruling bloc is due to be decided Monday as a coalition dispute over migration policy reaches its endgame.
Separate meetings of Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union and its Bavarian sister party broke up well after midnight with no public resolution to their standoff. The parties were expected to hold joint talks in Berlin later on Monday in an attempt to broker an 11th-hour compromise.
