FRANCE 24 English published this video item, entitled “Germany election: Chancellor Angela Merkel’s era to end after 16 years • FRANCE 24 English” – below is their description.
Germans vote in an election on Sunday that will mark the end of #Merkel’s 16 years in power and the beginning of a rare period of unpredictability in Europe’s top economy. After steering #Germany safely through crises such as the 2009-10 eurozone financial crunch, a massive influx of refugees in 2015 and the coronavirus pandemic, Merkel leaves behind an economic powerhouse in relatively robust health. But critics say she has left the #EU’s most populous country unprepared for a greener and more digital future, while social inequality has worsened. The veteran leader has been tight-lipped about what she’ll do next, but she has said she pictures herself reading and maybe taking “a little nap”.
