Themes featured are, of course, the current pandemic, but also her decision\/turnaround regarding nuclear power after the Fukushima catastrophe, her general approach to ride out problems, and her exclamation that she firmly trusts in ministers X, Y, or Z. Particularly in the early years of her chancellorship, it was a running gag among journalists as well as citizens in Germany to count the days until the respective minister had to step down after she pronounced her trust in him or her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Government declaration: A chancellor\u2019s manifesto of honesty by Sven Kretzschmar Mr. Speaker, Sir!

I said we can do it and I mean it: let\u2019s wait and see.<\/em> Our good
government approach is we intend to promise to try our best<\/em><\/p>\n
Make no mistake: it is my firm decision
to be against nuclear power because I am both physicist<\/em><\/p>\n
a Corona emergency break for we do not know what else to do<\/em>
and are afraid of appropriate action as an election is coming soon.<\/em><\/p>\n
we really don\u2019t know. No effin clue.<\/em> Regarding
our current situation the experts have explained to us \u2026 stuff.<\/p>\n
Hence, taking scientific evidence into account, we will<\/em>
not start to listen until probably after the election.<\/em><\/p>\n
for us, so I really would not like to use my soft brain<\/em>
to start working and leading<\/em>. The Minister of Health<\/p>\n
that is, he is as good as sacked.<\/em> Having said this,
I think we have achieved significant progress,<\/p>\n
