I'm genuinely confused by the obsession with Merkel, whilst refusing to see the bigger picture. She was party leader for 18 years. She always said this was her last term as chancellor and as previous chancellors she prepares a new party leader now by stepping down whilst remaining chancellor till 2021, after which she will retire. Nothing surprising nor abnormal about this. The surprise was her decision to candidate for a 4th term - not stepping down now; we always knew this would be her last term now and her behaviour is standard procedure ;)
Well the "abnormal" thing, as you would call it, is that Angela Merkel is the most powerful woman in the world leading one of the most powerful countries in the world. Her career as well as her personality are fascinating and of course a topic to be discussed, because she is extremely relevant.

So... you have the longest to second longest serving German Chancellor organizing their retirement but that somehow is a big victory according to YT comments. I may burst your bubble, but she was on the way out anyway.
@@ElectricityTaster It's what I don't like about the German chancellor system. Because of the parliamentary democracy there is no term limit to chancellors (as the power ultimately rests with the parliament), but no term limit dissuades an orderly transit of power, but contrarily encourages the sitting chancellor to remove any competition they can to not get toppled. Kohl had this problem, Merkel now again, conservatives, well, being conservative and not liking to rock the boat (in contrast to social democrats who like to fight power even if they are in power) The refugee crisis is only a sorry excuse by xenophobes, It's not like Merkel has ever been lead by any ideological vision during government, it was simply a crisis getting out of control and she made the best of it from her view (aka not having videos of German border guards shooting women and children like the nutjobs of the AfD suggested). Same with the debt crisis, she did not do something visionary, she just did what was the best thing to do for germany (however that is how most EU countries thought in both crisis: It was not the EU doing it, it was actually national priorities that led to the chaos within Europe) .

I find more lies by omission, falsehoods and spin in the traditional news organization.

So Merkel's downfall was not to consult, to exclude from discussions, to refuse to seek and receive advice from wide-ranging opinions and synthesise these differing advices ? Which German politician has done the opposite of that in their career and could succeed Merkel ? Moderate politicians tend to ignore radical opinions considering they're marginal, but the same politicians should always be wary of the actions they take that could make those dismissed opinions grow in popularity. In the end, moderates often risk to be replaced with policymakers that could bring about chaos.
Dear BBC giving the right wing populist Gauland the chance to stage himself as a victim... Indeed a highlight of British journalism. But that's what we got used to by you.

Actually the topic of migration is not that big, nor were people deceived by Merkels refugee politics. Afd is a small percentage of German people and all the drama just fits into the narrative of the media...
Tim Bucks I am a German and I do not hate it but unfortunately we have many Germans in Germany hating themselves for being Germans. They even say that all Germans must be murdered. They are in a high number at this time but you know the AfD is 5 years young, give them a few years time, we will grow
What's wrong with the afd is it's public image The media is unified in hating on it because they have always done it this way. Everyone who opposes the leftist politics is publicly denounced as Nazi. Happened even to another well established party as well.
One of Germany's biggest problems you never hear about is pollution. Germany is Europe's most polluting country be far and I think this issue should be given more attention, even though it's a silent and relatively invisible problem. The next Chancellor, whomever it may be, should take measures to reduce the production of pollution by Germany.
i agree that we should take measures to reduce pollution but of course Germany has the most pollution, we are also by far the biggest country in terms or Citizens.
@@LegendNinja41 Just a few things, Germany is the most populated country in the European Union with 82 million, but in Europe, European Russia topples Germany by 28 million with 110 million. Also, you're saying that the bigger a country is, the more it pollutes. This is relatively false, national population and national pollution are not proportional. The U.S is the second most-polluting country in the world while India is the second most-populated country in the world. Germany is the 19th most-populated country in the world while it is the 6th most-polluting country in the world. But what you're saying makes sense: the bigger a country is, the more it should be allowed to pollute based on its population, needs, capacity and based on the environment protection. The ideal situation would be for every country to approach a determined air pollution per capita number that preserves the environment. The idea being we should all reduce our pollution if we want to live on this planet. From that point, the question is, what can we do to reduce our Co2 emissions ? In the case of Germany, one thing would be to go from coal to low-air-polluting energies.
@@bringiton5282 Well of course USA is 2nd, it's an advanced country/economy, India is largely a 3rd world country, Russia is a emerging country, where as Germany is already a advanced one like the USA. many countries who have a higher population than Germany aren't nearly as advanced, like DR Congo, Nigeria, Egypt, Phillippines, Vietnam, Ethophia, Mexico, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Brazil, Indonesia and India, that's 12 countries for you. i agree with that pollution per capita idea and that Germany needs to go away from coal.
@@LegendNinja41 Alright, let's distinguish advanced economies from emerging and undeveloped economies. Sweden, France, Switzerland and Germany are comparable. Germany still tops them and by far and per capita that is ^^ Also, India's overall pollution comes right after the US, so it seems that the overall measure of a country's pollution is not the result of the combination of population and advancement of the economy. But good idea for an explanation.
@@bringiton5282 we produce by far more than Sweden and France, even per capita, Switzerland is rich enough to tackle this issue within a few decades, we don't.
After the last election Merkel had to step down because of the bad result and the refugee crisis. She said she would do four more years. Then she named her replacement "Armin Laschet" but few wanted him. Most voted for Olaf Scholz from the SPD.
And her successor is a Merkel clone,probably even worse. Angela has purged the CDU's traditional conservative wing together with Kohl and now has inundated the Party with Marxist Greens determined to bring Europe back to the Stone Age with its pagan roots adoring trees.
Why? She did a great job in 18 long years as the head of the conservative party. This time she did not candidate anymore for that position but wants to finish the rest 4 years as Kanzler. It might work since her successor is her wish candidate even though it was close with the more conservative other candidate. The Members of the party are some more conservative than the people who vote them anyway. Merkel got very long standing ovations for her goodbye speech. Maybe because some feel released, sure.
On what basis? Learn what German Basic Law dictates and then try to construct a case for treason... You can't, because she can invoke the constiutional human rights articles which Article 1 dictates as the fundament of all state power and action.
@@mangalores-x_x Its not that easy. There too were some discussion about but the judical service for the parliament said, the the decision was totally following the law. The decisiontaking of the chancellor without having asked the parliament was in question and the service as well as the supreme court said that it was part of her job as a chancellor but only by majority not all were having that opinion. Sure it created discussions about the power of the chancellor and with good reason.

@@mweskampppHello michael, I'm not referring to Greece's debt which I agree is significant but don't you think there was a lot of politics in that the EU couldn't let Greece go unpunished. Even the ECB didn't agree to the 'deal' offered. It's like me owing you £100 and yet you restrict my ability to earn so much that I'd never be able to pay it back.You're happy with that because it sends a message to all the others who owe you money. On the face of it that's what was done to Greece. As I've said elsewhere look up Yanis Varoufakis as he was the finance minister for Greece at the time. His story certainly matches more accurately the result as opposed the any other. As an aside I have friends living in Athens one of which is a high court Judge and she earns 1000 euros a month and that's one of the highest paid jobs in Greece and they are really struggling now. There are doctors who have turned to prostitution to try and feed their children. There are plenty of stories like that. I know in terms of this debate it's irrelevant but It makes me angry that those in power can do this to their own people or to a country.

I will always respect Angela Merkel for her decision on the refugee crisis. There's a reason why she made that decision along. She made a decision based on her humanity and compassion, not politics. It was damaging to her but was a decisive step in reconciling Germany's history.
she is a Phd PHYSIST!! her thesis was: the investigation of the mechanism of decomposition reactions with simple bond breaking and calculation of their rate constants on the basis of quantum pysical and statitical methods.
Altmeier is 6 yrs older than me. I thought he was way over 60. I`m so tired of all these old guys ruling those who stand for a totally different lifestyle, ideology and have to put up with difficulties the old ones created but never had to go through.
Clearly the decision to aid refugees came from the right place, but the resources and capacity to were not taken into proper account. I think we should have established safe zones in Syria regardless of what al- Assad or Putin had to say about it and a lack of willingness to stand up for people's health and safety in a way that made sense is, in my opinion, why this disaster has dragged out into what it is.
It's not Merz, it's Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer who is the new party leader. She is conservative and a maker. She achieved to hold down the AfD on 7% in her federal state during the refugee crisis, simply by making her homework.
No person shall be elected to be EU Leader and Chancellor / prime minister / president more than twice, and no person who has been EU leader and chancellor / prime minister / president or acted as Chancellor / prime minister / president for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected Prime minister / president / chancellor shall be elected to be prime minister / president chancellor for more than 1 term
I will always remember that David Cameron advised European aid to build refugee camps close to Syria, so that the refugees could eventually return, and so that they could be catered for by members of their own religion. The difference, I suppose, is that in the UK our Islamic immigrants came from a newly-partitioned India, and had a fleeting fondness for the British Raj. Nevertheless, they retain quite fundamentalist world views. In Germany the long-term experience of Islam is via Turkish guest-workers, who came from an increasingly secular Turkey transformed by Ataturk. So the UK has learnt how to deal with real muslims, whilst Germany had to cope only with lapsed muslims. Of course, under Erdogan, Islam is heavily back in fashion. Merkel's deals with Erdogan seem to me to be quite suicidal. I am relieved that the German populace appear to agree with me.
Dear Trolls, dear inhabitants of any third world states, dear geniuses, please the Heads of Government that you have elected in your own countries. Try harder 👍
I have to say the woman that is impliying Merkel wasn't speaking for the vast majority of gemrans in regards to nuclear politics and called her descision a strategic failure clearly didn't took a good look at the sittuation and issue at hand. One could say Merkel decided this against the majority of the position of her own party but in the population a majority was for a nuclear phaseout for a long time by then. After Fukushima that general position became a flood that washed the CDU away in a state level election in a state they ruled for decades before that and prognosis for upcomeing state elections didn't look good either. Had she not forced the CDU to give in on that issue it may have very well gone the way of the SPD by now. Migration is a different topic but it shouldn't be ignored that the vast majority of Germans still stand behind her decision and vote for a quite liberal stance on this issue. The recent high of the green party which is pretty much on the other extreme than the AfD comes to mind. I never liked Merkel and I never voted for her but then I'm a liberal myself and see conservative as an inherently flawed position. In a world that is pretty much defined by progress you are bound to defend the status quo. Conservatives of today would be appalled by the positions conservatives defended 100 years ago and had those old conservatives their way nothing would have changed ... Still eventhough I'm not pro Merkel I belive the CDU is going to miss her. Esspecially since they forced her out for the wrong reasons. They are now in the same trap as the SPD is with the Linke and will likley be torn appart. On the positive side this opens up the German modell to more interesting parliaments with more positions getting a proper voice and consideration. In the end the extreme parties will learn the hard way that compromise is not getting what you want or they will remain without any power to get anything done.
She's chair, as chair she's not so much a leader of a single party as chair of the true majority coalition of parties. The same house will elect another chair. That's what. Democratically elected (ie. with proportional representation) governments are much harder to upset because they self update to truly represent the electorate rather than just take their turn at the trough as some hyperpartisan plurality or other.
I don't think the EU will fail because of that. Our governments do not consist of one leader. "Führerprinzip", as it was called in the third reich, is not a thing her for 73 years.

Same with the debt crisis, she did not do something visionary, she just did what was the best thing to do for germany (however that is how most EU countries thought in both crisis: It was not the EU doing it, it was actually national priorities that led to the chaos within Europe) .

@Ba'al it takes something to get that. By the way she could work on a construction site since she learnt that in her youth being in the FDJ.
@Stouffer BBC is mainly a narrative-driven channel. This entire piece was constructed as a work of fiction to evoke certain feelings, not as a report. So the tangential facts don't matter at all.
Quantum chemistry is a mix of physics and chemistry

Your criticism is actually proof of how traditional news outlets have to stand up to such high standards they are bound to fail.

I find more lies by omission, falsehoods and spin in the traditional news organization.

So Merkel's downfall was not to consult, to exclude from discussions, to refuse to seek and receive advice from wide-ranging opinions and synthesise these differing advices ? Which German politician has done the opposite of that in their career and could succeed Merkel ? Moderate politicians tend to ignore radical opinions considering they're marginal, but the same politicians should always be wary of the actions they take that could make those dismissed opinions grow in popularity. In the end, moderates often risk to be replaced with policymakers that could bring about chaos.

One of Germany's biggest problems you never hear about is pollution. Germany is Europe's most polluting country be far and I think this issue should be given more attention, even though it's a silent and relatively invisible problem. The next Chancellor, whomever it may be, should take measures to reduce the production of pollution by Germany.
i agree that we should take measures to reduce pollution but of course Germany has the most pollution, we are also by far the biggest country in terms or Citizens.
@@LegendNinja41
Just a few things, Germany is the most populated country in the European Union with 82 million, but in Europe, European Russia topples Germany by 28 million with 110 million.
Also, you're saying that the bigger a country is, the more it pollutes. This is relatively false, national population and national pollution are not proportional. The U.S is the second most-polluting country in the world while India is the second most-populated country in the world.
Germany is the 19th most-populated country in the world while it is the 6th most-polluting country in the world.
But what you're saying makes sense: the bigger a country is, the more it should be allowed to pollute based on its population, needs, capacity and based on the environment protection. The ideal situation would be for every country to approach a determined air pollution per capita number that preserves the environment.
The idea being we should all reduce our pollution if we want to live on this planet. From that point, the question is, what can we do to reduce our Co2 emissions ? In the case of Germany, one thing would be to go from coal to low-air-polluting energies.
@@bringiton5282 Well of course USA is 2nd, it's an advanced country/economy, India is largely a 3rd world country, Russia is a emerging country, where as Germany is already a advanced one like the USA.
many countries who have a higher population than Germany aren't nearly as advanced, like DR Congo, Nigeria, Egypt, Phillippines, Vietnam, Ethophia, Mexico, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Brazil, Indonesia and India, that's 12 countries for you.
i agree with that pollution per capita idea and that Germany needs to go away from coal.
@@LegendNinja41 Alright, let's distinguish advanced economies from emerging and undeveloped economies. Sweden, France, Switzerland and Germany are comparable. Germany still tops them and by far and per capita that is ^^
Also, India's overall pollution comes right after the US, so it seems that the overall measure of a country's pollution is not the result of the combination of population and advancement of the economy. But good idea for an explanation.
@@bringiton5282 we produce by far more than Sweden and France, even per capita, Switzerland is rich enough to tackle this issue within a few decades, we don't.

Why? She did a great job in 18 long years as the head of the conservative party. This time she did not candidate anymore for that position but wants to finish the rest 4 years as Kanzler. It might work since her successor is her wish candidate even though it was close with the more conservative other candidate. The Members of the party are some more conservative than the people who vote them anyway. Merkel got very long standing ovations for her goodbye speech. Maybe because some feel released, sure.
On what basis? Learn what German Basic Law dictates and then try to construct a case for treason... You can't, because she can invoke the constiutional human rights articles which Article 1 dictates as the fundament of all state power and action.
@@mangalores-x_x Its not that easy. There too were some discussion about but the judical service for the parliament said, the the decision was totally following the law. The decisiontaking of the chancellor without having asked the parliament was in question and the service as well as the supreme court said that it was part of her job as a chancellor but only by majority not all were having that opinion. Sure it created discussions about the power of the chancellor and with good reason.

@@Stuartgerwyn sure beggars cant be choosers is the term, i think. There is always hard fighting in the EU counsil and dont you see, that Greece really had no chance to go another way? They cant expect to live on charity of the other member states without changing anything, am i right?
@@mweskampppHello michael, I'm not referring to Greece's debt which I agree is significant but don't you think there was a lot of politics in that the EU couldn't let Greece go unpunished. Even the ECB didn't agree to the 'deal' offered. It's like me owing you £100 and yet you restrict my ability to earn so much that I'd never be able to pay it back.You're happy with that because it sends a message to all the others who owe you money. On the face of it that's what was done to Greece. As I've said elsewhere look up Yanis Varoufakis as he was the finance minister for Greece at the time. His story certainly matches more accurately the result as opposed the any other. As an aside I have friends living in Athens one of which is a high court Judge and she earns 1000 euros a month and that's one of the highest paid jobs in Greece and they are really struggling now. There are doctors who have turned to prostitution to try and feed their children. There are plenty of stories like that. I know in terms of this debate it's irrelevant but It makes me angry that those in power can do this to their own people or to a country.

Angela Merkel is an amazing woman. I have so much admiration for her strength and determination.
I saw a video of her on one of those planes that drop poison from the air, chem trails, believe me, she eSnt what you think
Clearly the decision to aid refugees came from the right place, but the resources and capacity to were not taken into proper account. I think we should have established safe zones in Syria regardless of what al- Assad or Putin had to say about it and a lack of willingness to stand up for people's health and safety in a way that made sense is, in my opinion, why this disaster has dragged out into what it is.
Great next Macron!!!
It's not Merz, it's Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer who is the new party leader. She is conservative and a maker. She achieved to hold down the AfD on 7% in her federal state during the refugee crisis, simply by making her homework.

Great piece, that leaves me with more questions than answers.
As bad Hillary Clinton. Destroyed Germany 🇩🇪 with Muslim immigrant.
I will always remember that David Cameron advised European aid to build refugee camps close to Syria, so that the refugees could eventually return, and so that they could be catered for by members of their own religion. The difference, I suppose, is that in the UK our Islamic immigrants came from a newly-partitioned India, and had a fleeting fondness for the British Raj. Nevertheless, they retain quite fundamentalist world views. In Germany the long-term experience of Islam is via Turkish guest-workers, who came from an increasingly secular Turkey transformed by Ataturk. So the UK has learnt how to deal with real muslims, whilst Germany had to cope only with lapsed muslims. Of course, under Erdogan, Islam is heavily back in fashion. Merkel's deals with Erdogan seem to me to be quite suicidal. I am relieved that the German populace appear to agree with me.
Dear Trolls, dear inhabitants of any third world states, dear geniuses, please the Heads of Government that you have elected in your own countries. Try harder 👍
wtf does that mean?
I have to say the woman that is impliying Merkel wasn't speaking for the vast majority of gemrans in regards to nuclear politics and called her descision a strategic failure clearly didn't took a good look at the sittuation and issue at hand. One could say Merkel decided this against the majority of the position of her own party but in the population a majority was for a nuclear phaseout for a long time by then. After Fukushima that general position became a flood that washed the CDU away in a state level election in a state they ruled for decades before that and prognosis for upcomeing state elections didn't look good either. Had she not forced the CDU to give in on that issue it may have very well gone the way of the SPD by now.
Migration is a different topic but it shouldn't be ignored that the vast majority of Germans still stand behind her decision and vote for a quite liberal stance on this issue. The recent high of the green party which is pretty much on the other extreme than the AfD comes to mind.
I never liked Merkel and I never voted for her but then I'm a liberal myself and see conservative as an inherently flawed position. In a world that is pretty much defined by progress you are bound to defend the status quo. Conservatives of today would be appalled by the positions conservatives defended 100 years ago and had those old conservatives their way nothing would have changed ... Still eventhough I'm not pro Merkel I belive the CDU is going to miss her. Esspecially since they forced her out for the wrong reasons. They are now in the same trap as the SPD is with the Linke and will likley be torn appart.
On the positive side this opens up the German modell to more interesting parliaments with more positions getting a proper voice and consideration. In the end the extreme parties will learn the hard way that compromise is not getting what you want or they will remain without any power to get anything done.
She's chair, as chair she's not so much a leader of a single party as chair of the true majority coalition of parties. The same house will elect another chair. That's what. Democratically elected (ie. with proportional representation) governments are much harder to upset because they self update to truly represent the electorate rather than just take their turn at the trough as some hyperpartisan plurality or other.
