German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who has led Germany since 2005 and led the Christian Democratic Union Party (CDU) until 2018, is leaving her post in September 2021.
In the speech she gave while handing over the leadership of the party, Merkel said; She stated that she would be successful "with new minds, new answers and new structures, but with lasting values". Merkel has shown what permanent values are, and Time magazine has chosen Merkel as the person of the year.
