The Germans elected her to lead them, and she led 80 million Germans for 18 years with competence, skill, dedication and sincerity.
During these eighteen years of her leadership of the authority in her country, no transgressions were recorded against her.. She did not assign any of her relatives to a government post.. She did not claim that she was the maker of glories.. She did not get millions in payment, nor did anyone cheer her performance, she did not receive charters and pledges, she did not fight those who preceded her and did not dissolve her.
She did not utter nonsense.. She did not appear in the alleys of Berlin to be photographed. This is Angelica Merkel, the woman who was dubbed “The Lady of the World” and who was described as the equivalent of six million men. Merkel left the party leadership position and handed it over to those after her, and Germany and its German people are in the best condition ever. The reaction of the Germans was unprecedented in the history of the country.
The entire population went out to their balconies of their houses and clapped for her spontaneously for 6 continuous minutes. A standing ovation nationwide. Germany stood as one body bidding farewell to their leader, a chemical physicist who was not tempted by the fashion or the lights and did not buy real estate, cars, yachts and private planes, knowing that she is from former East Germany.
She left her post after leaving Germany at the top.. She left and her relatives did not claim advantage… Eighteen years and she never changed her wardrobe.
At a press conference, a female journalist asked Merkel: We notice that you’re wearing the same suit, don’t you have any other? She replied: “I am a government employee and not a model.”
At another press conference, they asked her: Do you have housemaids who clean your house, prepare your meals and so on?Her answer was: “No, I do not have servants and I do not need them. My husband and I do this work at home every day.” Then another journalist asked: Who is washing the clothes, you or your husband?Her answer: “I arrange the clothes, and my husband is the one who operates the washing machine, and it is usually at night, because electricity is available and there is no pressure on it, and the most important thing is to take into the account the possible inconvenience for the neighbours. Thankfully the wall separating our apartment from the neighbours is thick.
She said to them, “I expected you to ask me about the successes and failures in our work in the government??” Mrs. Merkel lives in a normal apartment like any other citizen.. She lived in this apartment before being elected Prime Minister of Germany. She did not leave it and does not own a villa, servants, swimming pools or gardens .. Merkel is now former Prime Minister of Germany, the largest economy in Europe.
