In Berlin, meanwhile, German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s leadership is coming under growing pressure. Her decision to keep Greece in the eurozone, her courageous but unpopular choice to allow in a million refugees, the Volkswagen scandal, and flagging economic growth (owing to the slowdown of China and emerging markets) have exposed her to criticism even from her own party.
与此同时，在柏林，德国首相默克尔的领导地位受到日益严重的压力。她决定让希腊留在欧元区，勇敢但不受欢迎地选择了允许一百万难民进入德国，再加上大众公司丑闻和经济增长减速（拜中国和新兴市场减速所赐），就连她本身的政党内也出现了批评她的声音。
