BERLIN — Horst Seehofer, leader of Bavaria’s Christian Social Union and German interior minister, offered his resignation from both offices late Sunday in order to defuse a clash with Angela Merkel over refugee policy that threatens to bring down Germany’s coalition. Sources said Seehofer had not yet submitted the resignation and that some in the party were attempting to change his mind over the decision. Germany's interior minister has offered his resignation after a conflict with Angela Merkel over migration policy, party figures say.
