FT reports on their live blog from the Brussels Summit:
13.15: Angela Merkel is coming under fire in the Bundestag, says Quentin Peel, our Berlin bureau chief, as the chancellor’s opponents seize the opportunity to voice their anger ahead of a parliamentary vote on expanding the firepower of the eurozone rescue fund:
“One of the best speakers in the Bundestag is Gregor Gysi, leader of the far-left Linke party, and he never misses an opportunity to taunt his more worthy rivals in big debates with embarrassing insights.
‘Why don’t you tell the German taxpayers the truth?’ he demanded of Ms Merkel. ‘They are being asked to pay for the losses of the French banks’. The chancellor looked pained and irritated."
