German politician Peter Dreier takes bus full of refugees to Merkel
Berlin: An irate politician from Germany's southern state of Bavaria took a bus carrying 31 refugees to Chancellor Angela Merkel's office in Berlin on Thursday as a protest against her open-door refugee policy.
The Syrians, escorted by police, arrived after a 550-kilometre trip outside Ms Merkel 's office, where a dozen German protesters, unconnected with them, were chanting "Merkel must go" in protest at her line on immigration.
Peter Dreier, head of the south-eastern town of Landshut, acted on a threat he made to Ms Merkel last year when he said his municipality could no longer cope with the number of arrivals.
