Merkel ‘Has No Qualms About Squandering Germany’s Political Legacy’

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has squandered the inheritance of the old Federal Republic, German political scientist Jurgen Dittberner writes, referring to Merkel’s inconsistent domestic policies and the deterioration of Russo-German relations.

In the period from 1945 to 1990 it seemed that Germany could become a country that had learned a lesson from its previous arrogance and militarism, abandoning war as a political tool, German political scientist Jurgen Dittberner highlights, adding that German Chancellor Merkel has squandered the legacy of her political predecessors.
