Well...

Merkel has turned her party (CDU, more or less centered) in someting more left than the original left german pary (SPD), that is just my opinion.
The thing I want to point out is, that to her it seems unimportant wich "side" she fights for. The only importance is might. That´s psychopatic, even sociopathic behaviour.
Personally I don´t really care about this left/right paradigm. That´s an illusion created by some people to stay in power.

See the bias already?

If you still ask what this has to do what is happening now in Germany, then I am not sure how to help you see it. Perhaps try google "Trotskyism" and read about their goals and ways.
