Enraged German protesters DEMAND ‘Merkel MUST GO’ following liberal immigration policies
FURIOUS protesters have demanded that German Chancellor Angela Merkel resigns because too many immigrants have reached the country.

Protesters marched against Angela Merkel's pro mass-migration stance
Thousands of ‘Merkel Must Go’ demonstrators marched through Berlin on Saturday waving banners reading: “No Islam on German soil" and “refugees not welcome".
Police had to deploy tear gas as pro mass-migration demonstrators, cheered on by German politicians, tried to force their way through police lines and attack the right-wing protesters.
Turkish-born German politician Hakan Tas, a member of the national radical Left party, claimed he was attacked by right-wing activists at a subway station on Saturday but sustained no injuries.
Left-wing demonstrators also held a "rave against Nazism" as amateur DJ's and nightclub promoters lined the streets playing loud music.
The 1,800 strong march comes after a recent survey showing just 1 per cent of Germans said they wanted Islam to be a part of Germany.

Angry Germans protest against Merkel's mass migration stance
In October, research found four-fifths of Germans thought the country should regain border controls, a policy against which Merkel is strongly set.
Two million migrants entered Germany in 2015 alone - the country's highest level of net migration since the Second World War.
