MP: Merkel's pro-US policy on Iran "shameful"
LONDON, May 7 - The head of Germany's Left Party Oskar Lafontaine lambasted Chancellor Angela Merkel for backing the US policy on Iran, branding it "disappointing and shameful", IRNA reported.
"The meeting of Chancellor Merkel with US President Bush has shown again that German foreign policy still has no basis. Moreover it is an uncritical appendix of the failed foreign policy of the Bush administration," Lafontaine was quoted as saying on Saturday in a press statement.
Merkel had repeatedly expressed support for Washington's controversial hardline policy on Iran's nuclear program during her recent visit to the US.
The leftist lawmaker urged an "active" German role in the peaceful solution of the Iranian nuclear conflict.
