Angela Merkel's Timeline
She said it…
"In the German football team
players from different clubs
need to get on with each
other both on and off the
pitch. In the grand coalition
Christian Democrats and
Social Democrats sit in the
same boat and need to pull in
the same direction."
"The end of the cold war
had a huge impact on my
life. It marked the triumph of
freedom over dictatorship."
"We witnessed in the GDR and
in the entire socialist system
that an economy which was
no longer competitive was
denying people prosperity
and ultimately leading to
great instability."
