    Sahra Wagenknecht, parliamentary group leader of Die Linke in the German Bundestag, has criticized chancellor Angela Merkel as being “co-responsible for the Berlin terror attack” on the Breitscheidtplatz Christmas market on December 19.

    In an interview with the German Stern magazine, Wagenknecht stated: “Apart from the uncontrolled opening of the borders, the police have had to face ruinous budget cuts in the past.”

    In December last year Wagenknecht already called German foreign policy co-responsible for the strengthening of Islamist terrorism. The Leftist politician has demanded a German foreign policy which doesn’t acquiesce to “US-hegemony”.
