Merkel Accused Of “Fearmongering” After Telling Germans To Stockpile Food “In Case Of Catastrophe”

The German government’s civil defence plan, which as reported yesterday urged Germans to stockpile enough food and water for ten and five days, respectively “in case of an attack or catastrophe”, has been strongly condemned by the opposition party Die Linke (the Left Party), who accused Merkel that her proposal could result in a public frenzy. ‘By bringing out new plans all the time, the government could make people afraid people and even lead them to panic buy,’ Dietmar Bartsch, co-chair of Die Linke told the Rheinische Post on Monday.
