Merkel clutches her arms and has to sit down at an official event as fears grow over her mysterious shaking fits
ANGELA Merkel has been seen clutching her arms and sitting down at an official event, in another bizarre public display of mysterious shaking fits.
During the bilateral talks, chairs were set up for Ms Merkel as she attendees that a new defence minister would be found quickly. She stood alongside President Frank-Walter Steinmeier at an indoor event where Germany's new justice minister was formally appointed.Ms Merkel was handed a glass of water but rejected it, and appeared fine when she arrived in parliament half an hour later.In an unusual move and breaking with protocol, she opted to sit rather than stand.
One member of the CDU executive committee said: "The tremors are fuelling the CDU internal debate about whether the schedule agreed between Merkel and Kramp-Karrenbauer on not changing the guard until 2021 can hold"., who has made a series of gaffes since taking up the CDU position, has seen her popularity slide in recent weeks.
The former head of Germany's intelligence service, Hans-Georg Maassen, said the public should be told if their leader is in poor health."The people in Germany have a right to know whether their leader is still physically in a position to fulfil her office with all her strength."But the temperature in Berlin today only reached a mild 18C.
