Excerpt:
German Chancellor Angela Merkel and her CDU party will discuss plans to reduce immigration Sunday as conservative rebels also meet, in key talks likely to determine the fate of her government.
Merkel’s government has been pushed to the brink over the migration issue after allowing more than one million asylum-seekers into Germany since 2015.
The policy has provoked a backlash from Merkel’s conservative CSU coalition partner with her Interior Minister Horst Seehofer, also the CSU chief, even threatening to unilaterally turn back migrants at the border.
On Friday, the European Union’s 28 members hammered out a hard-fought deal to tackle migration and avert a crisis that has threatened the very fabric of the bloc.
