Radical left protests in Germany over bailout deal ‘coup’ against Greeks

Divisions emerge within Angela Merkel's CDU party over whether to back deal as demonstrations take place in 14 cities over austerity package imposed on Greece

Protesters have taken to the streets in 14 German cities to show their anger with their government's handling of the Greek crisis, as opposition to the bailout deal appeared to be growing within Angela Merkel's Christian Democrat (CDU) party.

Anti-austerity demonstrations by a vocal minority of Germans took place in cities including Berlin, Frankfurt and Hamburg, with the radical left in the EU's economic powerhouse proclaiming its solidarity with those across the world who are furious with Berlin for its role in forming Monday's agreement.
