As is most of the population." Noam Chomsky
I'm pretty much on the far left when it comes to politics and I don't agree with some of the things she stands for BUT I respect her. I can aknowledge how good her stability and calmness is in moments of crisis, how smart she is, how much she listens, but also by how much good she did by shifting her party more towards the political center and how hard she works. Looking over to other countries like the US I am glad that we have her as our Bundeskanzler. My political ideals may wish for something different but she as a person is someone I can accept and respect in her position. I would never vote for her party and I hope that the party loses more votes when she leaves because the CDU without her is just well... everything already bad about the party without the good things she brings to the table. I'm pretty sure the party will shift to the right again without her.
I'm not on the far left but other than that I agree. Will be interesting to see who fills the gap in the center. I just wished their would be a party that focuses on logic, science mixed with human rights and dignity. Not following a certain idiology, but deciding from case to case what's the best solution to a problem / question seems to be a better way of dealing with the future than the old 20th century political party design.
@@fawkesmorque Guten Tag, ich glaube, ich habe da etwas, das Sie interessieren könnte: Zur Zeit ist eine patriotische, anti-populistische und anti-rechte Bewegung in der Gründungsphase. Dies Bewegung soll später eine Partei im Bundestag werden und eine relativ zentristische Universalpartei werden, ein Schweizer Armeemesser der deutschen Politik. Unser Fokus liegt auf Problemlösung, Krisenbewältigung, Vereinigung aller Deutschen, außenpolitische gerechte Neutralität und die Hervorhebung Deutschlands als globale Supermacht. Was die Problemlösung angeht haben wir bereits Lösungen für folgende Probleme: - die schlechten Arbeitsbedingungen von Pflegekräften - politische Radikalisierung und Aufstieg von Populismus - die Probleme der Bundeswehr (Unterrüstung, geringe Unterstützung, wenig Schlagkraft und Effektivität, eher schlechte Einsatzbereitschaft) - das Mietpreisproblem - die Stadtarmut - die Korruption, die leider immer häufiger durch den Begriff "Lobbyismus" verherrlicht wird - das Fehlen von offenem und kollektivem Patriotismus in der deutschen Gesellschaft - die Blockbildung in der EU zwischen populistischen Staaten (Polen, Ungarn, Tschechien, womöglich bald auch Frankreich) und dem Rest der EU - die zukünftige Energiepolitik Deutschlands - die Unabhängigmachung der EU als neutrales und aktives Staatengeflecht in der Weltpolitik - bessere Beziehungen zu Russland zur Konfliktprävention In diesen Bereichen wir sich diese Partei zum Wohle von Deutschland und der Welt einsetzen und Deutschland als politische Supermacht auf der Weltbühne etablieren. Wären Sie daran interessiert, der Bewegung beizutreten, die das möglich machen soll?
Also masterminded the recolonization and economic rape of every economy from Warsaw to Athens, all while seeming like Julia Child. Indeed a masterful politician…
Very interesting to watch as a German! Well what can I say? I dont want to think of who comes next as Chancellor - people will be missing her despite of all the things she did wrong. She is a decent and a down-to-earth person who has just tried to do her job as best as she probably could, for years.
It has more to do with German tendency of not going for the head of their leader. As long as the leader is accommodating, they let minor disappointments slide. Good luck for Germany. It is the peace you long deserved.
Because shes a disaster for the german Population. Big Media roots for her like they are Rooting for biden. Germany is deeply devided like the US is. Its just the Media telling you otherwise.

She is a great leader, a moderate one. most importantly she has a big heart and she respects democracy. hopefully the next chancellor follows her path.
Even though I'm Greek and our political relations haven't been the best since the crisis, I respect her. She must be doing a really good job to hold on in power for so long.
@@iwannadance3070 Most germans do not really like her that much anymore. Both the left and right can definitely agree on the fact that they want somone new. At the same time "Abel Ioan Popa" is ridiculous for saying that she destroys germany. Edit: This has probably changed a lot in this crisis so I guess that she is pretty popular again. So you are probably right. Also even people who dislike her policies generally agree that she is very competent, including me.
Glad to hear a Greek say so, with what happend, I get why some would be mad at everything german politics related. I do think she has done a lot of good and I do like her (excluding some political interests), but I also think she herself has no self interest in leading anymore. Not that I ever had the impression she was selfish in any way, it's more that she is tired of it, the job.
G7 meetings have been incredibly unproductive since the Trump administration took over. And the US is already sanctioning our energy supply and withdrawing troops as a "punishment" of Germany. There isn’t much to fear on top of that.
just read the title and haven't watched the video yet, but as a german, I say it's because she had no real competition. I never voted for her party, in fact i very much dislike the CDU, but if you would ask me "who else should become chancellor?" then I wouldn't really know an answer right now.
I feel pretty much the same. I've certainly not voted for the CDU in decades, but I would vote for her. In fact, had it been possible for me, I would have done exactly that: vote for her to become/remain chancellor without voting for the CDU.

Next year is election again. I live in Germany as a German and to tell the truth I'm undecided which party I'm going to vote for. No party really has a strong leader at this point. Most parties have pretty much the same election program and they didn't really change that much over the last 10 years. And most of the stuff in them didn't really progress in the last years either. So as long as you are not far left or far right voter you don't really need to care they will form the big coalition again anyway.

I think you forgot the most popular candidate, Markus Söder. I don't really see any chances for Röttgen and it's also gonna be very tough for Laschet. Thing is, if Söder should really decide not to candidate for his parties nomination, Merz will most likely take his place, something I'm not too fond of.
Söder cannot follow her as the party leader of the CDU, because he is a member of the small Bavarian-only sister party CSU. He could become the candidate for chancellor supported by the two parties, but based on the rather bad experience of the Unions with running a CSU candidate for chancellor in the past (two failed attempts) and Söder's not too positive reputation outside Bavaria, I'd consider it rather unlikely that the CDU would try supporting a candidate from their smaller sister party again.

I'd say she got off too lightly here. Phasing out nuclear power was done because of public pressure and because her party lost a state level election to the Greens, when it had always been a safe state for the CDU. Furthermore, because she had previously repealed a law phasing out nuclear power (by SPD-Greens-coalition before 2005) and suddenly changed her mind about nuclear power after Fukushima (she has a DSc in physics, mind you), now the German state has to pay massive compensation to the energy companies. While she was praised for approach to renewable energies around 2010, since then a lot of jobs in the wind and solar sectors have been lost. She has also been accused of not doing much more than managing the status quo, not adressing major structural problems outside of crises. One recipee for her success is definitely that she excels at taking credit for/appropriating the successes of her coalition partners (such as the introduction of a minimum wage in 2015 which had been demanded and implemented by the SPD), decimating their numbers in the polls, even going so far as to push the FDP out of parliament in 2013. It's a similar situation with Covid right now, most of the successful measures are implemented by SPD ministers, while most CDU ministers are a disaster right now. And possibly most importantly the regime of financial austerity she imposed upon southern european countries in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis leading directly to privatisations and severe cuts in social spendings in these countries, which has massively impacted their ability to respond to the Covid crisis (not enough hospital(s) beds in Italy, for example). Not saying the video is wrong about her accomplishments or her success at staying in power, but a lot of things were left out.
minority is always louder than the majority, I guess most people (at least in my age) appreciate her work (tho I never really experienced a other Kanzler)
No just no. There were real chancellors like Adenauer, Erhardt, Brandt and Schmidt. The chancellors since Kohl are just stripping down germany of it's riches and social structure to make the 0,001% even richer. Don't believe this bs.

@@proclusyellioupolos197 Yeah well that's a hole dug by modern capitalist systems that rely primarily on debt. You need these systems to accelerate growth just to compete with countries like the US. But when they fail... Letting them fall leads to decades of economic recession.
Nothing has been solved. The next financial crisis is going to be even worse. There are huge amounts of debts that are not worth the paper they are written on and there is an insane degree of asset price inflation. So - nothing solved, only postponed to get even worse next time round.
Not her best moment.... She kept it together its true, but Troika and austerity with long term results showed that wasnt the way to go. In the end it was individual nations and the people who payed, China wouldnt set foot on EU countries like Greece or Italy if it wasnt for that.

I’m not German, and I wish she’d stay- but the coalition needs to show the country that it can survive without her
I guess you have no imagination at all. Maybe loosing it is a side effect of all those diesel fumes you and your family have inhaled thanks to Merkel's coziness with the dieselgate auto companies.

As much as I would love to keep her, I think it is time for a change. I know it will be a change for something worse, but I guess we need a worse leader for a while in order to find a good one after it. And now is the right time to do this. Next year Trump will be gone, we will have a handle on Corona, the worst of Brexit will be over...it is a good time for a leadership change.

That's what we call democracy in Europe. Not like this two party dictorship on the other side of the Atlantic (US).
@C J I know that there a more party's in the US. But it's impossible for them to be part of the political process because the election system (the winner takes it all).
@C J "For the record, there are multiple parties in the US as well" - But they are all irrelevant for the political process in the US.
"In the US, there is basically one party - the business party. It has two factions, called Democrats and Republicans, which are somewhat different but carry out variations on the same policies. By and large, I am opposed to those policies. As is most of the population." Noam Chomsky
I'm pretty much on the far left when it comes to politics and I don't agree with some of the things she stands for BUT I respect her. I can aknowledge how good her stability and calmness is in moments of crisis, how smart she is, how much she listens, but also by how much good she did by shifting her party more towards the political center and how hard she works. Looking over to other countries like the US I am glad that we have her as our Bundeskanzler. My political ideals may wish for something different but she as a person is someone I can accept and respect in her position. I would never vote for her party and I hope that the party loses more votes when she leaves because the CDU without her is just well... everything already bad about the party without the good things she brings to the table. I'm pretty sure the party will shift to the right again without her.
Me too
I'm not on the far left but other than that I agree. Will be interesting to see who fills the gap in the center. I just wished their would be a party that focuses on logic, science mixed with human rights and dignity. Not following a certain idiology, but deciding from case to case what's the best solution to a problem / question seems to be a better way of dealing with the future than the old 20th century political party design.
@@fawkesmorque Guten Tag, ich glaube, ich habe da etwas, das Sie interessieren könnte:
Zur Zeit ist eine patriotische, anti-populistische und anti-rechte Bewegung in der Gründungsphase. Dies Bewegung soll später eine Partei im Bundestag werden und eine relativ zentristische Universalpartei werden, ein Schweizer Armeemesser der deutschen Politik. Unser Fokus liegt auf Problemlösung, Krisenbewältigung, Vereinigung aller Deutschen, außenpolitische gerechte Neutralität und die Hervorhebung Deutschlands als globale Supermacht. Was die Problemlösung angeht haben wir bereits Lösungen für folgende Probleme:
- die schlechten Arbeitsbedingungen von Pflegekräften
- politische Radikalisierung und Aufstieg von Populismus
- die Probleme der Bundeswehr (Unterrüstung, geringe Unterstützung, wenig Schlagkraft und Effektivität, eher schlechte Einsatzbereitschaft)
- das Mietpreisproblem
- die Stadtarmut
- die Korruption, die leider immer häufiger durch den Begriff "Lobbyismus" verherrlicht wird
- das Fehlen von offenem und kollektivem Patriotismus in der deutschen Gesellschaft
- die Blockbildung in der EU zwischen populistischen Staaten (Polen, Ungarn, Tschechien, womöglich bald auch Frankreich) und dem Rest der EU
- die zukünftige Energiepolitik Deutschlands
- die Unabhängigmachung der EU als neutrales und aktives Staatengeflecht in der Weltpolitik
- bessere Beziehungen zu Russland zur Konfliktprävention
In diesen Bereichen wir sich diese Partei zum Wohle von Deutschland und der Welt einsetzen und Deutschland als politische Supermacht auf der Weltbühne etablieren. Wären Sie daran interessiert, der Bewegung beizutreten, die das möglich machen soll?
Also masterminded the recolonization and economic rape of every economy from Warsaw to Athens, all while seeming like Julia Child. Indeed a masterful politician…

I do think she has done a lot of good and I do like her (excluding some political interests), but I also think she herself has no self interest in leading anymore. Not that I ever had the impression she was selfish in any way, it's more that she is tired of it, the job.
When she refused to enter the G7 this year, I thought she is a very decisive person, and wouldn't fear US even if they might retaliate.
G7 meetings have been incredibly unproductive since the Trump administration took over. And the US is already sanctioning our energy supply and withdrawing troops as a "punishment" of Germany. There isn’t much to fear on top of that.

He could become the candidate for chancellor supported by the two parties, but based on the rather bad experience of the Unions with running a CSU candidate for chancellor in the past (two failed attempts) and Söder's not too positive reputation outside Bavaria, I'd consider it rather unlikely that the CDU would try supporting a candidate from their smaller sister party again.

Running Merz would be a much worse decision though, he's even less popular than Söder.
there's an old saying : "you'll only realize the worth of an item when you lost it", just like how i realize the worth of a cheap key when i lost it, now i can't open the door and need to get in through the window like a thief
Very good journalism. Keep up the good work.
She would be missed. Most people have to be chased from power, but she’s willing to give it up despite support for her
A little correction she didn´t end mandatory conscription she paused it which means that it can be inplemented anytime the bundestag likes
Bundestag🤣🤣🤣
She is a great leader forever. A woman and a mother of the nation.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thanks my friend 😊
Great leader and mother of the nation Lol ,thank to her! Germany wil have the same problèmes than france ,sweden with immigration
@@DidierDidier-kc4nm Which problem lol
@@__BeN_ Rising rents, falling wages, rising criminality, falling education, rising epidemics, falling healthcare, rising scams, falling industrial production, rising imports, falling exports. Basically the end of all progress and the beginning of the rot. The nation dies by braindead, the corpse may still be there for some time and bacteria make it seem living. It isn't. It's gone. The ship is already on its way to the ground.
I honestly wouldn't mind if the successor slowly moved the party back to it's more conservative roots, as long as it helps kick out the damn AfD...
She is composed.
She is exactly what a leader ought to be
Ranting on twitter is not the way to go you mean?
In Germany we call her : " Mutti von Europa"
Also: This commetarysection was annexed by german solders.
Nah, just Mutti
Mutti is referencing her extreme lack of competence.
@@hans-joachimbierwirth4727 das jibt ne Anzeige
Kann man extreme Inkompetenz anzeigen? Egal, versuchs halt! Schreib gleich dazu, ihre Dissertation ist auch geklaut. Genauer gesagt erfickt. Mit anderen Worten: ungültig, disqualifiziert, weil weder eigenständig, noch neu, oder überhaupt dissertationsfähig!
Despite losing 2 world wars, Germany managed to maintain its hegemony in Europe...
and she's not a maniacal dictator
I'd say she got off too lightly here.
Phasing out nuclear power was done because of public pressure and because her party lost a state level election to the Greens, when it had always been a safe state for the CDU. Furthermore, because she had previously repealed a law phasing out nuclear power (by SPD-Greens-coalition before 2005) and suddenly changed her mind about nuclear power after Fukushima (she has a DSc in physics, mind you), now the German state has to pay massive compensation to the energy companies.
While she was praised for approach to renewable energies around 2010, since then a lot of jobs in the wind and solar sectors have been lost.
She has also been accused of not doing much more than managing the status quo, not adressing major structural problems outside of crises.
One recipee for her success is definitely that she excels at taking credit for/appropriating the successes of her coalition partners (such as the introduction of a minimum wage in 2015 which had been demanded and implemented by the SPD), decimating their numbers in the polls, even going so far as to push the FDP out of parliament in 2013.
It's a similar situation with Covid right now, most of the successful measures are implemented by SPD ministers, while most CDU ministers are a disaster right now.
And possibly most importantly the regime of financial austerity she imposed upon southern european countries in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis leading directly to privatisations and severe cuts in social spendings in these countries, which has massively impacted their ability to respond to the Covid crisis (not enough hospital(s) beds in Italy, for example).
Not saying the video is wrong about her accomplishments or her success at staying in power, but a lot of things were left out.
Well she did a really good job of handling this pandemic. Though I don’t hear people crediting her
They do ..just that outside ppl dont get to know
minority is always louder than the majority, I guess most people (at least in my age) appreciate her work (tho I never really experienced a other Kanzler)
everyone who knows how good of a job she did during her time in office doesnt talk about it much because the obvious doesnt need to be told.
Because shes competent. If you're really competente you dont need autocratic regimes. People will want you there. Shes more educated than anyone.
You misspelled corpulent. It is corpulent, not competent.
Angie will go down as the best chancellor in history of the German 🇩🇪, Federation despite all critics and up and down... herzlich Glückwünsch..
No just no. There were real chancellors like Adenauer, Erhardt, Brandt and Schmidt. The chancellors since Kohl are just stripping down germany of it's riches and social structure to make the 0,001% even richer. Don't believe this bs.
I think Adenauer will always have the edge, but she is a close second.
Don’t leave 😩. She’s my rock
Yeah, we will miss her.
