RASTATT, Germany (Reuters) – Gerd Mueller has voted for Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservative Christian Democrats (CDU) for over 40 years. Now he’s having second thoughts.
“I am very irritated,” the 64-year-old said between
business appointments in Rastatt, a well-off town of 50,000 near the
border with France in Baden-Wuerttemberg, one of three German states
holding elections on March 13.
“I don’t feel Frau Merkel is bringing us along with her,”
he added, pointing to the German leader’s welcoming stance towards
refugees.
Mueller’s frustration is shared by a rising number of
voters. Elections next month in this prosperous southern state, its
wine-producing neighbour Rhineland-Palatinate and Saxony Anhalt in the
east will serve as a litmus test of Merkel’s migrant policies ahead of
the next federal vote in 2017.
