Angela Merkel has been the Chancellor of Germany since 2005, executing a magnificent work both in the foreign as in the domestic policy of the country, either carrying the reins in what concerned the methods for facing the 2008-2013 crisis in Europe, which assured that its effects would be minimum in Germany and it earn her an overwhelming popularity among people, or carry out the Angela G8’s Congress. She is now one of the most influential people in the world.
According to Forbes magazine, by the year 2015 Angela Merkel was the most powerful woman on Earth and the second most powerful person after Vladimir Putin. Merkel carries out her functions as Chancellor of Germany, but her scientific approach (she is a physical) on politics and international relations has led her to have an enormous power and an undeniable influence on the European Union for which some consider her leader de facto of this organization.
Merkel is the only other woman to ever preside a G8 summit while, at the same time, performed her functions as President of the European Council, being preceded only by the British ex-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who she’s been compared to, given her tendency to the right wing and her fierce control over the politics; it is undeniable that both have occupied a great politic power over the European Union at their time.
Angela Merkel presides over a large number of organizations and political coalitions in her native Germany, some of which are:
– The Chancellery of Germany, since 2005
– Chair of the CDU (Christian Democratic Union of Germany)
– Member of the Bundestag, House of Representatives of the German Parliament
– President of the European Council, in 2007
Among other so many charges she has passed throughout time.
Merkel is a ruthless woman; this can be seen in his political career, boasting a large domain. Who can say that women are the fairer sex? Nobody, after meeting Angela Merkel
