She sounds to me like a tired old woman who needs to retire and put her feet up.
Ah yes, Merkel the scientist. The scientist who recruited other scientists to create a doomsday report on the possible apocalyptic Covid scenarios in order to justify authoritarian, unconstitutional and “repressive” (their words) restrictions. As reported previously by the Duran.

Perhaps Merkel is taking orders that she no longer feels bothered to justify. By contrast, Orban has kept jackals at bay year after year, despite daunting power dynamics arrayed against him.
If you followed German news closely, especially now with the Covid pandemic, you would understand why Merkel is “losing her temper”. Every single state wants its own cake and eat it too…and this is not the way to get a pandemic under control. All Germans, ALL OF THEM, must pull in the same direction but this is NOT what is happening. Now…for those male chauvinists picking on Merkel: show us that you can do better than her.
