Krah, who was a CDU member for 10 years, even launched awebsite calling on other fellow members to turn their backs on the party.
Speaking to RT, he said that while handling the refugee influx, Merkel had neglected people’s concerns and interests.
“People are upset with the policy that is not looking to the population, to the interests of the people in the country,” Krah said. He stressed that instead Merkel had focused on “some” opinions while “having lost contact with real world-problems.”
Krah stated that it should have been clear to the German government and Merkel herself that the so-called “open door” policy was a step in the wrong direction.
“You can’t have an open door policy when you have a good social security system.”
“It’s simply a crazy policy and it’s dangerous,” he went on to say.
