The ex-chancellor finds that her schedule is no longer so tight. But she likes to think back to some things from time as head of government – also for very practical reasons.
The floral decoration in the Chancellery and “The Great Chancellor Kitchen” missed ex-Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) the most since she left office. Flower bouquets were wonderfully arranged there every day, the 70-year-old enthused at a award ceremony for her book “Freiheit” in Baden-Baden. “You came in there, you had a difficult day ahead of you, and it was always really well decorated.” She already knew that she would miss the flowers in terms of office.
