Anybody take a look at this sentence please?

"Critics accused Merkel of flip-flopping to reflect a shift in opinion away from nuclear power."

I don't quiet understand this sentence,

does it mean that those critics are blaming Merkel for changing her opinion so promptly, thus this situation reflects some sort of dispute that is not essentially about the nuclear power crisis thing going on recently?
