Last week, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres described the Corona virus pandemic as the biggest crisis the world has faced since World War II, but one country leader can make such a comparison from his life experience. In her speech to the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries on April 5, she mentioned Queen Elizabeth II listened to her listeners that she made her first speech aired in 1940, when she was a 14-year-old princess, when Britain alone repelled Nazi Germany.

Two different women

The British Queen can be compared to another character who sits at the top of an important country, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and the two women look completely different. Dr. Merkel is a great scientist in biophysics and a de facto leader, but these two women are from two countries that fought together with two world wars during the past century, and played Similar roles in the unification of their two countries.

Now the 94-year-old has kindly urged the British people to act in a way they can look with pride. In this global climate fraught with fear and accusations, her message emerges as an example of leadership, and news has emerged of transporting British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to the hospital following the symptoms of Corona’s disease. On him, after the Queen's speech. "Together, we will be able to cure this disease, and I want to assure you that if we remain united and determined we will overcome it, and I hope that in the coming years we will be able to feel proud about how we have responded to this challenge, and will say who They come after us that this British generation was as strong as the rest. ”

The best hour of time

Her comparison of the current crisis with her wartime rhetoric, which the late Prime Minister Winston Churchill described as Britain's best hour of time, is a summons to courage, because she carried a heavy weight from a woman who was a child, is now a national symbol, but she spoke to today's children with the passion of the national mother.

It embodies the monarchy that began about 1000 years ago, in continuation of its national character, but Elizabeth is much more than symbolic, since her long life embodied the challenges that her people had to face, such as evacuating her with her wartime sister, the early death of her father George VI, and her responsibilities as a queen who is In the youth stage, and the tragic death of Princess Diana, and her responsibility for her grandchildren, to many large and small crises, which the royal family had to face, not only with regard to her situation, but also with her deep sympathy for her people who are facing difficulties, which made her message for The unit Influential patriotism.

With the recovery of Prince Charles, the eldest son of the Queen and her successor in the future, and Prime Minister Boris Johnson in intensive care, the Queen's message seems very personal, and will work to unite people with each other around the world, during these difficult days that await everyone.

The Queen concluded her speech with a message for the children of Britain, who said that they "sacrifice and draw rainbows", and given that she lived through wars in her childhood, her words were to children of this time offering hope that Britain will emerge from this crisis "as strong as before".

appeal

Queen Elizabeth appealed for the best natures of the British, in a clear comparison of the political partisanship surrounding US public health policy. The world's major media appears to be hostile to US President Donald Trump, who has tried to blame the state rulers who criticized him, and the World Health Organization after that, and at the same time federal and state governments were involved in a lifeboat dispute over a lack of medical supplies and equipment.

It is striking that the political leader whose position in the current crisis is very similar to the position of the Queen: she is German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and she is now entering the 16th year in her work as a chancellor for Germany, but the chancellor who carries the title of "my death" or "mummy" "took a different tone To deal with the German people in this crisis, I explicitly warned them that half of the German people could be infected with the Corona virus. ”According to Germany’s excellent public health system, the medical team with Merkel managed to keep the Corona virus death rate to the lowest in the world.

Voter support

In response to its handling of the medical crisis in her country, support for Merkel's party, the Christian Democrats, rose to the highest level in three years, with 43% of voters saying they believed this party was the most efficient to tackle problems in Germany. Just a few months ago, the popularity of this party decreased to less than that of the Green Party, and now Merkel's party is very advanced, as opinion polls indicated a decline in the support of the Green Party, and it was limited to college students only.

The queen established her style of government since her oath in 1953 when she said, “All the things that I promised before, I will implement and preserve, and that is why my Lord, help me.” As the head of the British Church, the queen recreated the British monarchy, not as a fame or grandeur, but as a legacy of services Holy, royal contract with people, humanity and God.

But Dr. Merkel does not have such traditions. German nationalism became an evasive trade during World War II, and Merkel ruled out any cooperation with the ultra-nationalist minority party, known as the “Alternative Party of Germany.” Instead of appealing to historical memory, Merkel presented a strong public health system, in which a team of brilliant and committed German doctors found any possible way to save lives.

Thank you very much to Elizabeth and Angela Merkel. The two enemies of war in the twentieth century have become a model of national unity under the current difficult circumstances, albeit in very different ways. Given that they are in a world torn and problem-ridden, this is an encouraging sign.

The British Queen is compared to another character on top of an important country, German Chancellor Merkel.

In response to its handling of the medical crisis in her country, support for Merkel's party, the Christian Democrats, rose to the highest level in three years, with 43% of voters saying they believed this party was the most efficient to tackle problems in Germany.

Elizabeth is much more than symbolic, since her long life embodied the challenges that her people had to face, such as her evacuation with her wartime sister, the early death of her father, her responsibilities as a young queen, and the tragic death of Princess Diana.

Trump blamed state governors, then the World Health Organization, for the crisis in the spread of the Corona virus.
