More division in Europe. Greece is a problem again too. We need to stop believing this fraudulent coalition called the EU can work.
Horst Seehofer, leader of the CSU, a key party in Mrs Merkel's coalition, has grown increasingly angry at her position on immigration.
Last week he threatened to turn asylum seekers away from Germany's borders unless Mrs Merkel reached an acceptable deal with other EU partners.
His stance put Mrs Merkel's coalition and her political future in question.
She said Greece and Spain had agreed to take back migrants stopped at the Bavarian-Austrian border who are proven to have entered their countries first - a move she hoped would allay Mr Seehofer's concerns.
But the divisions within the German government over the issue are also being played out in other EU countries, and this was reflected in the vague wording of Friday's deal.
