(ANSA) - BERLIN - An open conflict between some members of the party and German chancellor Angela Merkel is raging inside the CDU: a group of MPs submitted a motion urging Merkel to close borders in order to stem the influx of refugees. This news was reported by the Bild. The group, calling on the chancellor to change the country's migration policy, is led by Christian von Stetten. In recent days, a letter written by 34 ''rebels'' who are against Merkel's line, had collected more than 120 signatures within the party.
The closure of borders ''should not be a taboo'', according to von Stetten. (ANSA).
