Besides that, do you really think that Merkel decides who will be released from prison? The German justice system sucks, but don't blame Merkel for it!!! BTW, minister of justice,Brigitte Zypries (SPD)is not form Merkels party.
I am not blaming Merkel. She is a decent and pleasant human being. I know who is to blame . However , she represents the " Regierung". Therefore , she is the only return address
