[ad_1]

German Chancellor Angela Merkel delivered a traditional New Year’s speech to the citizens of the country. She will no longer run for German Chancellor.

She said this in a video message.

Merkel said that in her 15 years in power, she had never experienced such a tough year and was so hopeful for the next year. The cause is a pandemic.

“In nine months, there will be federal general elections and I will not run for reelection. Today is probably the last time I will address you on New Year’s Eve as Federal Chancellor,” he said.

Let us remember that the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, left the position of leader of the party: the Christian Democratic Union. Note that Angela Merkel led the party for 18 years, 13 of them, as the country’s chancellor.

As Reuters wrote, political circles in Germany predict that the new party chief is likely to become Germany’s next chancellor. Delegates to the Congress of the Christian Democratic Union in the second round elected the party’s general secretary, Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, as the new leader.
