Chancellor Angela Merkel, focusing on benefiting both the left and right side of German society believes to have Holidays for support of thinking, relaxing, and catching up with oneself. The numbers show it, for Germanys’ average age tops most countries. Merkalism, or rather the detachment of political anchors, Merkel confidently works in attempt to benefit what is best for Germany as a whole, rather than pleasing a certain party. Critics say rather than a reformation from Merkel, an administrator for Germany is what’s needed. From 12 years of being Chancellor, Merkel has been on the path of moving forward with Germany’s economy, as well as not progressing to make changes for the better. In recent years, studies show that Germany is not what is used to be, or what is perceived to be. By its’ tax system being unprogressive, issues under debt, and having the ability to open a new business in Germany being at an all time low in recent years.
In current elections, Merkel was questioned on being too pleasing to each party, rather than to state her own ground. A major issue in Germany in recent years, was the influx of refugees as part of the opening of boarders through Merkel. A the time, was widely accepted and even applauded, now is causing issues for Germany. An ageing country, like Germany, needs immigrants to upkeep their economy. The question now, is if Germany wasn’t as prepared as they thought for the influx of immigrants. As the amount of immigrants rose, Merkel’s popularity tumbled. In fixing the situation, Merkel and Erdogan (president of Turkey) agreed to work together to control the immigrant situation. Upon getting in control of the influx of immigrants, Angela worked closely with countries having similar issues as Germany. For example, Germany got China to assist the US to reaffirm the importance of Climate action. In a research survey of world leaders, Merkel was nominated the only one who was voted most confident in leading. Though Merkel has lead through a refugee crisis, Trumps initiation, and a federal electioin campaign in the past year, Merkel has managed to assist Germany in it’s future. Though she has left no successor as of yet, Merkel does not want to leave politics “half dead”. For the moment being, Merkel will keep her individual connections, her method of leading Germany, and of course, enjoy a “Merkel Summer” of easy living.
