Support, sarcasm after Merkel calls for banning burqas
Angela Merkel attacked Germany's right-wing populists Tuesday - first by criticizing opponents of her refugee policies and then by nicking one of their panaceas. The chancellor told fellow members of her Christian Democratic Union (CDU) that she supported a proposal by Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere to outlaw full-face covering garments worn by some Muslim women.
"'Cheer storm' at Merkel's AfD demand for a ban on full-face veils," Beatrix von Storch, a member of the European Parliament for the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD), wrote in a tweet, implying that the chancellor's proposal is not just disingenuous but unoriginal.
