Germanys Angela Merkel: What has she achieved for women?
The countrys first female chancellor has taken on alpha males in world of politics. But as her nearly 16 years in power comes to an end, Merkel has not been able to enact gender parity or equity in many realms. Why not?
梅克爾前後擔任基民盟黨魁十八年有餘，擔任國家總理亦近十六年。如此長的在任時間在政黨輪替為常態的西方民主國家中相當罕見，也從側面證明了梅克爾作為女性政府首腦具有的相當政治素養及個人實力。在任上，她被視作歐洲聯盟實際領導人，特別是在英國退歐之後更是強化了這種定位。而梅克爾在國內的滿意度亦一直保持在良好水準，在其執政的十五年間，滿意度維持於60至80%水平，亦從未跌穿50%的轉捩點。]
在國內政策中，在醫療改革、能源問題以及移民危機採取的措施是她擔任總理期間的主要問題。自2014年以來，她一直擔任七國集團高級領導人。2018年10月，梅克爾宣布她在2021年將不再尋求連任總理職務。
2021年10月13日，梅克爾最後一次以德國總理身份與中華人民共和國國國家主席習近平舉行視頻通話，獲得中國人民的老朋友的稱呼，是2020年代第一位被稱為中國人民的老朋友的西方國家領袖..............
.In 2005, upon becoming Germanys first woman to serve as chancellor, Angela Merkel asked: "Who would have thought that the highest government office would be taken up by a woman this year?" Now — almost 16 years later and on the brink of a fateful election — there is an entire generation in Germany who know no other chancellor but her. "I have been told that there have even been questions on whether a man can also do it. I did not make that up," joked the chancellor in 2018 when Germany celebrated 100 years of womens suffrage.
Mama Merkel’ cheered by Syrians at refugee center.
Germany expected to welcome 800,000 asylum seekers in 2015 — four times as many as 2014, and the EU’s lion’s share. Chancellor Angela Merkel won a hero’s welcome as she visited a Berlin migrant center on Thursday, with Syrians cheering and taking selfies as Germany threw open its doors to thousands of refugees.
“We are so happy Mrs. Merkel came to see us today,” said a joyful Ramadan Salah, a 35-year-old Syrian Kurdish refugee the migrant refugee center in western Berlin.
“She is like a mother to us, she has helped many refugees,” he said.
