She made Germany the sick old economic man of Europe and the world.
No one has arguably transformed Germany more fundamentally than Angela Merkel, Germany’s first female chancellor.
Under Merkel, Germany allowed hundreds of thousands on immigrants to pour into the country, forever changing the German culture fabric. Her policies also crippled Germany’s energy supply when she decided to shut down the country’s entire fleet of nuclear power reactors and making Germany reliant of Russian natural gas and renewables. This has since led to a crippling of the German economy in the wake of the Ukraine War.
Though her policies and those of her successor government have made Germany the sick old economic man of Europe, she has become the darling of the media for it.
Since she left office in 2021, she’s written and just published her memoirs in a 736-page book titled “Freiheit”. Though it was fervently hyped and promoted by the media last month, it’s not selling well. So far reader reviews have been way short of enthusiastic. In fact, the reviews have been so flat that Welt here reports Amazon has since suspended reader reviews.
So far Freiheit, which sells for a hefty 42 euros, has only managed to get 2.4 stars. Moreover it is only no. 15 on the bestseller list.
Merkel’s book is also available in English under the title “Freedom” where at Amazon it has only gotten a measly 1.5 stars from obviously disappointed readers.
It’s a sign of the times: Trump is in, and those against him are being tuned out.
well, CdU assembly clapped for 9 minutes at Merkel’s speech concerning the immigrants. The famous: “Es gibt keine Obergrenze” (there is no upper limit).
So what can we say? They (the Germans) have voted for her.
Germans have the very bad attitude to fall prey of ideologies.
In 1933.
In 2015.
Different ones but both very dangerous.
And in addition, they took an ex DDR figure as chancellor.
Maybe the modern moron slaves are upset about the comments she maid about Ukrainistan and Russia!
Most such “book deals” flop, because they are not intended to succeed in the first place. The sales and ratings don’t matter, and pointing and crowing about it only reveals ignorance as to their true nature.
Just like fake art sales (millions for a banana taped to a wall, anyone?), the initial contact fee is the reward to the globalist clown for their hard work to promote the globalist agenda.
It’s a combination of pay-off and money laundering.
In spite of all her other failings, at least she managed to control the weather. Germany leads in that.
Sarcasm?
