merkel

They'll be remembered for that, just as Merkel will be remembered for destroying the founding principles of the EU.

Angela Merkel is not officially part of the Troika, but her role in it is still real.

Here's the problem: Merkel can't politically justify to give Greece more german taxpayer money because it isn't spent wisely.

As Angela Merkel says, Europe has 7% of the world population, 25% of the economy and 55% of the social programs.

What Angela Merkel has to say may be irrelevant, but having insights into trade deals before they are signed certainly isn't.

So-called intelligence about what Angela Merkel is thinking is of no diplomatic or economic use.

As far as I'm concerned Merkel was right to adjust Germany's energy policy to favor renewables after Fukushima.

But when Merkel wins in 2013 with 41.5% with a voting age population turnout of 66%, with 1.5% invalid, it's ok, eh?

Angela Merkel herself (with finance ministers of other member states taking a sort of deputy role) is speaking and acting a way that assumes this role.

Actually, Merkel seems to endorse what Mr Dannenfeldt wants.

Angela Merkel plays a prominent role in the debate because she is the unofficial leader of the northern states, while François Hollande unofficially represents the southern states.

Angela Merkel is not part of the Troika.

It is amusing and sad that Merkel apparently described Tsipiras as "hard and ideological" when the German position is so clearly ideologically driven.

"At the very moment Merkel and her allies are hectoring the Greeks about their profligacy, the airport’s cost, borne by taxpayers, has tripled to €5.4 billion." So, which country does Germany want to borrow money from in order to cover the wasteful spending?

The list is quite impressive: among the 56 numbers targeted were high-ranking officials from the administrations of Helmut Kohl, Gerhard Schröder on up through Angela Merkel.

There is lot of stuff like 'Merkel with mustache' in Greece, it is bit tiring.

They may in the end have permanently tarnished Merkel's and Schäuble's political legacies.
