Germany bid farewell to Angela Merkel with six minutes of continuous
applause. The Germans elected her to lead them, and she led 80 million
Germans for 18 years with competence, skill, dedication and sincerity.
During these eighteen years of her leadership and authority in her
country, no transgressions were recorded against her .. She did not
assign any of her relatives a secretariat .. She did not claim that
she was the maker of glories .. She did not get millions out of her
work, nor did she need anyone to cheer her life, she did not receive
charters and pledges, she did not fight those who preceded her and did
not dissolve her. She did not utter nonsense .. She did not appear in
the alleys of Berlin to be photographed. It is (Angela Merkel) the
woman who was dubbed "The Lady of the World" and was described as the
equivalent of six million men. Yesterday, Merkel left the party
leadership position and handed it over to those after her, and Germany
and its German people are in the best condition. The reaction of the
Germans was unprecedented in the history of the Germans .. The whole
people went out to the balconies of the houses and clapped for her
spontaneously for 6 continuous minutes of applause, without popular
poets, scum, impudence, colorists and climbers .. Germany stood as one
body bidding farewell to the leader of Germany, a chemical physicist
who was not tempted by the fashion or the lights and did not buy real
estate, cars, yachts and private planes, knowing that she is from
former East Germany .. She left her post after leaving Germany at the
top .. She left and her relatives did not repeat (We are the elders of
the country) .. Eighteen years and did not change her old clothes ..
God be upon this silent leader. God be upon the greatness of Germany
.. At a press conference, a female journalist asked Merkel: We notice
that your suit is repeated, don’t you have another? She replied: I am
a government employee and not a model. At another press conference,
they asked her: Do you have housemaids who clean the house, prepare
meals and so on? Her answer was: No, I do not have female workers and
I do not need them. My husband and I do this work at home every day.
Then another journalist asked: Who is washing the clothes, you or your
husband? Their answer: I arrange the clothes, and my husband is the
one who operates the washing machine, and it is usually at night,
because electricity is available and there is no pressure on it, and
the most important thing is to take into the account the neighbors
from the inconvenience, and the wall separating our apartment from the
neighbors is thick. She said: To them, I expected you to ask me about
the successes and failures in our work in the government. Mrs. Merkel
lives in a normal apartment like any other citizen .. This apartment
she lives in before being elected Prime Minister of Germany and she
did not leave it and does not own a villa, servants, swimming pools
and gardens .. This is Angela Merkel, the Prime Minister of Germany,
the largest economy in Europe !!
