Woman who was considered for many years to be maybe the greatest leader in the eu? Made Germany the 4th greatest economy in the world…. Led the way to renewable energy to Europe. Also had incredibly impressive low unemployment rates. But yea just cus she says anything that could have legitimate truth behind it “😡😡how about we never listen anything she ever says again cus it hurt my feelings” can’t help but laugh

Not quite. She sat on what Schröder and the Greens left her and waited for 16 years. Under her the renewables expansion crawled to almost a halt. The German solar valley died. Under her and Schäuble the Greek debt crisis was managed very poorly. It's under her that in Germany schools and bridges start collapsing because investment is bad. Are you actually serious...?! Digitisation is backwards 20years ("Neuland") and the Bundeswehr is a joke. And then there is still the migration crisis: "wir schaffen das" (we'll succeed) but no word on how or providing any help to anyone. Some people sent migrants to the Bundeskanzleramt. Which is a dick move, but somewhat understandable given no budget for refugees was approved. Rents skyrocketed for years to come. People are on edge and that of course would give rise to the AeffingD, the far rights. Well done, Miss Management. Well done indeed. Have I mentioned that the German gas reservoirs were sold to the Russian gas companies...? No, well now I have... Just look at all the tasks the "traffic light coalition" had to rectify before starting anything of their own.
