GERMANY - Angela Merkel’s hold on power in Germany is hanging by a thread after coalition party Christian Social Union (CSU) rejected a eurozone budget claiming that the country should not send money to Brussels to tackle the crisis. German broadcaster Bayerische Rundfunk said on its website that the CSU - one half of Angela Merkel’s waning coalition government who are strictly opposed to open migration policies in Europe - rejected a eurozone budget agreed by Mrs Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron. It is thought the CSU’s rejection of the budget is because the party are fundamentally opposed to giving more money and more responsibility to Europe. On Tuesday she announced a mini-summit on Sunday (June 24) to talk spending on the crisis. But Italy, who are pushing to shut its borders to refugees, has since threatened to boycott the meeting.
