Melech 9,900 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 "Helmut Kohl, Germany’s chancellor during reunification in 1990, was buried yesterday after commemorations in his homeland and at the European parliament in Strasbourg. Maike Kohl-Richter, his widow, watched as Angela Merkel, one of his successors, led tributes. The unprecedented “EU state funeral” took place amid acrimony since his death, at 87, that has shocked Germany and divided Kohl’s family. Merkel praised Kohl’s 16 years in power, adding that she and other citizens of former east Germany were in his debt. “I bow to your achievements, in humility and respect,” she said." https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/world/helmut-kohl-laid-to-rest-in-eu-state-funeral-lplr7339x United States of Europe come thruuuu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
