A eurosceptic German MEP has blamed Chancellor Angela Merkel for a lorry which ploughed into a Christmas market in Berlin, killing nine people and injuring dozens of others.
“When will the German rule of law strike back?” tweeted Marcus Pretzell, an MEP for the right wing Alternative for Germany party. “When will this cursed hypocrisy end? It is Merkel's dead!”
The message was sent just minutes after the apparent attack, but details have yet to be confirmed by the authorities.
The decision was not popular among some sections of the German public, contributing to the rise of populist political groups and parties in the country, including Alternative for Germany and Pegida.
If the suspected attack turns out to be related to refugees or is of jihadi in nature, it would pile immense pressure on Ms Merkel.
