statements of EU leaders in Tallinn , waved flags.

texts “Take Europe back to the seventh century
again”.
While another placard said “Buy British - We love

allowed thousands of migrants to enter the country.

Mrs Merkel was last weekend re-elected as German
leader, but with a weakened political grip.
Her Christian Democratic Union (CDU) won most of the
votes in the election but she lost many seats to the
Alternative for Germany (AfD).
The election results lead to AfD being the first far-right
group to enter Bundestag in 72 years.
Martin Schulz, leader of Mrs Merkel’s coalition the
Social Democrats Party (SPD), said the open-door
policy had led to the “depressing” rise of the AfD -
whose leader has made Nazi-comments.

He said: "It is clear accepting more than one million
refugees in our country is still dividing the country.“
Mr Schulz said his party had no choice but to go into
opposition “to defend democracy against those who
question it and attack it”, after low election results.
On Tuesday, Mrs Merkel admitted “polarising” Germany
with her refugee policy.
She said: "We have started to analyse the voters we
lost, especially with regards to those who went on to
vote for the AfD.
“We want to get them back by good politics and
addressing some of the issues.”
Mrs Merkel will stay on for a fourth term as leader but
is tasked with putting together a new coalition, most
likely with both the pro-business FDP and Green party.
