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.

Germany needs Europe far less than Europe needs Germany, and Merkel certainly can do without her daily vilification.

Her position is:

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
