| Description | BERLIN — Is she really OK?
All of Germany is asking itself that question following Angela Merkel’s latest bout of tremors — the chancellor’s third such spell in public over the past three weeks.
Though she has consulted doctors about the cause and undergone testing, Merkel has yet to release the results or provide any further detail. On Thursday, during an official ceremony to welcome Denmark’s new prime minister, both leaders broke with standard protocol to sit on chairs that had been placed on the red carpet in front of the chancellery.
Merkel’s attempts to downplay the episodes by insisting that she’s “very well” have only heightened Germans’ worry, prompting a more fundamental question in the privacy-obsessed country: Does the public have a right to know more about her condition?
Merkel certainly doesn’t think so. |
