She is not up to the “crown”

Actually, of course, our European partners show just a master class on how you can not behave in an epidemic of anything. At first, Italy acted almost like Little China, re-striking all its neighbors, and then Germany came out in all its glory.

First, the Merkel party appointee, Minister of Health Span (with a diploma of a political scientist) spoke out that, they say, it’s okay not to infect flu. And then he disappeared for a while, to later emerge with a panic message: "The virus is already in Germany, it cannot be stopped!" Member of the ruling CDU party.

And then the Minister for Research and Education Anya Karlichek (employee of the hotel with the correspondence diploma "management") went to the subconscious, and when they started asking why the ministry was not developing the vaccine and did not even ask for money for this business, it turned out that the minister merged with the topic. Member of the ruling CDU party. Merkel's appointee.

That is, Madame Merkel surrounded herself with party members with zero competence in all matters. This was already evident during the endless migration crisis, but the “crown” with Erdogan showed the full meaninglessness of today's German leadership.

Already not only Bild, but also more restrained newspapers such as Die Welt come out with articles stating that Merkel's corporate identity is not to do anything in a crisis situation. As one headline sounds, “No talk, no talk, no leadership during the crisis.” Indeed: when Mekrel had to cancel the results of the democratic elections in Thuringia, she loudly spoke already from South Africa, where she was on a visit. And then silence. And then Madame still spoke out so that it would be better to keep silent further. At a meeting with the deputies of the Bundestag, she said that she expects 60% of Germans to become infected (which is 53 million people), after which dead silence sets in, according to the press.

Such an ideal master class "How to behave the leader in disasters - do not sow panic, possess information, keep everything under control." With panic and info, as you understand, everything’s okay with her, but what about the control?

Problem number one is that literally in 6-7 years the wise party leadership has brought the healthcare system to the point. And after another two million patients arrived in the country who don’t contribute money to the system, but only take it away, even the most persistent doctors began to leave the city hospitals for private owners. To get to a specialist even if you have insurance (and it is compulsory in general - and considerable), you need to sign up for a month, or even two. The most frequent advice of a doctor: "That's when it starts to hurt unbearably, go to the hospital and enter through the emergency room." Newspapers are full of stories about how people stand up to eight hours for an appointment already in the hospital. Including with wounds. The beds are not enough specifically.

Therefore, it is not very clear how the Chancellor, with his visionism of 53 million patients, is going to deal with a pandemic (now officially).

All that the Minister of Health was able to squeeze out of himself was that he "does not see the point in closing the borders because the virus is already inside the country." This is in fact a direct quote from Merkel 2015: Ist mir egal, ob ich schuld am Zustrom der Flüchtlinge bin, nun sind sie halt da. (“I don’t care if I am to blame for the influx of refugees, now they are already here”).

Ms. Merkel is not involved in the leadership of the country - she is more concerned with how her name will be written in history books, how to sit out her 16 years in the chair of the chancellor, and the problem of a successor. She is not up to the “crown”, which is viral.

“Merkel has become a threat to the existence of her party” - this is not a statement, this is a headline in a moderate newspaper. This refers to the CDU, which she tried to control through a protege with an automatic nickname instead of a name - ACC. Against the background of the party’s reputation that collapsed after the elections in Thuringia, leader Annegret Karrenbauer (hereinafter inaudible) merged from the leaders, and now there is a battle for this place as a springboard in the chancellor’s chair, if, of course, the CDU has a chance to remain a little more significant party in the near future the future. Now all the forces of that elite, which Merkel is hanging around at the throne, are occupied only with this. They, in fact, are not up to the country's leadership in a crisis - they share the throne of a grandmother who has no grandchildren. Guess who claims? That's right - a member of the CDU party Minister of Health Span, except for the party businessman Merz. What do you think this virus is for him?

That is, the system of selection of leading cadres on a party basis, and not on a professional basis, during the crisis has shown itself in all its glory. Previously, only guessed, but now personally, because it concerns the skin of everyone.

But another small bomb, laid down in the basic law, exploded: the country's federal structure in a crisis like a virus reduces the efforts of the federal center to zero.

A simple example: the Ministry of Health publishes a cart "to ban all meetings and events for more than 1000 people" and sends it to the Landtags - the leadership of the land. But since the local leadership of the land itself decides what to do, in Saxony it is forbidden to hold the final match, and a cup is being held in the free city of Hamburg. And so with any document relating to, for example, the fight against the spread of the virus. And so the federal government, sitting in Berlin, prohibits the holding of mass events, and the Senate of Berlin holds at the height of the epidemic a ten thousand-strong demonstration of feminists. Just a couple of days before this, a city newspaper with a centenary of history came out with a column: “The Green and Red Senate of Berlin not only runs the city very poorly, but also causes direct damage to it.”

The saddest thing is that the same can be said about Merkel. As about a person, a politician and a role model.
