Tories build secret alliance with Eurosceptics behind Merkel's back
David Cameron arrived in Germany for talks with Angela Merkel on Friday evening
as his Conservative allies planned a secret deal with German Eurosceptics backing
his bid to loosen Britain's European Union membership.
Talks between the Tories and the new Alternative fuer Deutschland (AfD), an anti-euro party,
came to light as the Prime Minister and his family flew to Germany as the personal guests
of the Chancellor at the castle of Meseberg, her country retreat.
The invitation for Mr Cameron to bring his wife Samantha and his children, Nancy, nine,
Elwen, seven, and Florence, two, to stay in the elegant 18th century castle north of Berlin
was intended to underline that the visit was a special courtesy, "perhaps not just pure routine".
"It is a meeting linked to numerous, highly intensive, good discussions that the Chancellor
has had with Prime Minister Cameron," her spokesman said.
Mr Cameron's aides admit that winning Mrs Merkel's support will be vital to his attempts
to negotiate a looser British EU membership deal, a new settlement he has promised to
put to a referendum by 2017.

But The Daily Telegraph can reveal despite the personal warmth between Mr Cameron
and Chancellor Merkel, the Conservatives are negotiating a secret alliance behind her
back with Eurosceptic rivals to her Christian Democrats ahead of national elections
this year and European polls in 2014.
"We have made contact with the AfD but there is no formal agreement. Obviously it's a bit sensitive
. We don't want Merkel complaining to Cameron," said a senior Conservative source.
