Hated by everybody: Angela Merkel
Her story Born: Hamburg, 17 July 1954, daughter
of Horst and Herlind Kasner. One brother,
one sister.
Early life: Grew up in Templin, 50 miles
north of Berlin, before studying physics at
the University of Leipzig.
Career: Researcher at the Central Institute
of Physical Chemistry. Entered the
Bundestag in 1990. Under former
Chancellor Helmut Kohl, was Minister for
Women and Youth in 1994. Later became
Environment Minister. Secretary-General
of her party in 1998; beat Gerhard
Schröder to become Chancellor in 2005.
She wasn’t a single out person at school
Merkel has come a very long way from the house of Lutheran pastor Horst Kasner and his wife Herlind. Nothing in her childhood hinted at the career she would eventually follow. She was very good at studying Russian and mathematics
“Create yourself” – is her motto
she followed a conventional path from provincial school, to university in Leipzig,
to a branch of the East German Academy of Sciences in Berlin. Be in the right place at the right time she abandoned an academic career as a physicist in favour of politics. Since she made that decision at the age of 35 – 1989 was in every way her lucky year – she has uncannily tended to be in the right place at the right time.
The firs
female Chancellor
in Germany
Not only
politics! Her dissertations
are about physics
and chemistry
Angela’s person
for motivation
of little girls
The first shall be last and the last shall be first
.
People hate her.
Why?
"the most dangerous German leader since Hitler"
“nobody made a serious attempt to do something, knowing that this would immediately meet with a German veto”
“She is no dictator, but she can dictate terms. And that is why so many people are mad at her.”
Reality
Germany needs Europe far less than Europe needs Germany, and Merkel certainly can do without her daily vilification.
Germany is doing better than the rest of Europe because it doesn't behave like the rest of Europe and because, increasingly, it is looking beyond Europe. – and it is because of her policy
To use Germany's wealth to prop up a system?! Her answer is convincing german “Nein!”
Her position is:
Public
Enemy No.
1
the world's
potential savior
She saves interests of her country and is seen as:
Neither extreme is true, but this small, soft-spoken woman is the most significant player in the crisis.
A rather pedestrian in the past, created
herself, now she is the woman who can
save the world with a snap of her
fingers
Everybody loves to hate
Angela
And everybody is wrong
