I have to admit, I was surprised she won the last election so easily. Some of her policies and decisions have been absolutely abysmal for a nation that was coasting to economic prosperity for decades to come.
For the first time, Angela Merkel’s political future in Germany is being questioned
Angela Merkel on Thursday night was facing make-or-break coalition talks which could decide her future as chancellor of Germany. Negotiations were expected to last late into the night as Merkel tries to form a new government following damaging losses in September’s election.
With the parties still deeply divided hours ahead of a deadline this morning, Merkel’s political future has been questioned for the first time.
If the talks cannot reach agreement, Germany could face new elections and Merkel could face a challenge to her leadership from within her own party. The world’s most powerful woman looked tired as she headed into the talks in Berlin, but told reporters: “We can do this. This is a difficult, complicated task, but the will is there. It is vitally important for our country. We have a great responsibility.”
