SaysWho? Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/29/europe/angela-merkel-germany-election-intl/index.html Quote "This fourth term is my last term as Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany. In the next Bundestag election in 2021, I will not run again as Chancellor. I will not run for the German Bundestag any more, and I do not want any other political office." Merkel told reporters that being Chancellor has been a "very challenging and fulfilling task." Her decision appears to mark the beginning of the end of her 13-year dominance of European politics.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 It was pretty much assumed that this would be her final term as Chancellor, but this makes it official. Hardly surprising considering the drubbing her CDU has been taking in the regional elections. At least now the party can start the search for her replacement.
