Hated by everybody: Angela Merkel

Her storyBorn: 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 first 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
