The quote begins "Merkel said". If it had been anything else, it would/should have consisted of detailed specific objections to each part of the proposal, and which parts they were ok with. Have the EU said what parts they are ok with or could be tweaked?
What proposals have the EU even hinted at that would acceptable to them?

The story of the backstop is not of a flawlessly executed Celtic masterplan, however. Dublin conceived it fitfully and gradually in response to British contradictions and missteps. But once crystallised as a goal, the Irish pursued it hell for leather.

They won't consider anything other option, they didn't even bother looking in the past 4 years for what according to them is a major issue.

Mr Varadkar has warned the Johnson plan could actually undermine that principle by giving one party in Northern Ireland a veto over what happens to the country as a whole.

"Country as a whole"? Shows the true motive behind the backstop. No alternative measures will ever be allowed. The backstop gives a veto to the IRA, Ireland, and the EU over what happens to the UK as a whole, and that's somehow reasonable and acceptable?
