Melech 9,900 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 German Chancellor Angela Merkel appeared to shake uncontrollably for the third time in a month during Finnish Prime Minister Antti Rinne's visit to Berlin Wednesday. Footage shows Merkel trembling through the German national anthem during a welcome ceremony for her Finnish counterpart. Merkel later claimed to be "fine," according to Sky News. "People don't need to worry about me," she said, in a news conference after the event. It is the third time in a month the German chancellor has been spotted trembling in public, after shaking through a reception for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on June 18 and a meeting with German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier on June 27. Her office has not commented on the state of her health. Merkel is due to stand down as German chancellor at the end of her current term in 2021. https://www.politico.eu/article/angela-merkel-suffers-third-shaking-bout-in-month/?fbclid=IwAR11VvJP199cjInLjR8YRqEGCbmHg78zKFd-uXKX3xhDsIbj9oyNVCDlzqo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChromeAngel 3,230 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 She’s definitely unwell. Why won’t she admit it, though? Will that effect some future election or somthin? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will that effect some future election or somthin? If she steps down news elections are given and the current parties in the government (CDU and SPD) would lose a lot votes, that’s why both parties, especially CDU, don’t want new elections because they probably won’t be biggest party anymore and the next the chancellor of Germany wouldn’t be from CDU.

AlexanderMagno 10,746 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 This is definitely not normal. But it's really hard to say what might be causing it from the footage. I noticed she only shakes when she's quiet, and the tremor quickly goes away once she starts walking. But she walks completely fine, no slow walking, the tremor is not really continuous... Parkinson's looks very, very unlikely. It's most likely a natural aggravation of a normal tremor, or anxiety (you know when you start thinking too much about not doing one thing, and that makes you do it? Who knows, she probably got a little nervous after the first shaking and now everytime she's in a similar situation she can't control it), or a metabolic disease. Nothing from the videos can make us guess it's neurological. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The right party would only be the fourth largest party Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most possible would be the Jamaica coalition, which may be the better option. Oh and I'm not worried about the right Afd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
