Nobody in Europe will be abandoned. Nobody in Europe will be excluded. Europe only succeeds if we work together.

I never underestimated myself. And I never saw anything wrong with ambition.

Trying to keep a society together, trying to keep the older and the younger people together, trying to keep those who live in rural areas together with those who live in cities is one of the most important and most noble tasks of politicians these days.
Angela Merkel

Our relationship with the United States is not reduced to questions of fighting terrorism and the Iraq war. German-American relations were so good for so many years because they extended deeply into the normal lives of people.
Angela Merkel

I am always on duty, even when I am at party events or on vacation. I don't complain about it, on the contrary. Time management for candidates without government functions is different than it is for me. No matter where I am, I always have to have my duties as chancellor in mind.

So Europe needs to be competitive and we also need to be competitive if we wish to remain an interesting economic partner for the United States. This has to be done on the basis of strength, of competitiveness.

The plurality of German campaign formats, including the televised debates, reflect that we in Germany don't directly vote for a person like in the United States or in France, but for parties. We have a different system.
Angela Merkel
Image
Look forward to the future and look forward to the unknown. Nothing stays the same and people change. One day that hurt and pain will be a distant memory.
Angela Merkel
Image
We're saying this to both countries: We want a two-state solution. We want a Jewish state of Israel and alongside an independent Palestinian state. Unilateral measures are not helping at all to bring about this cause, and we agree that we wish to cooperate very closely on this, because as we both say, time is of the essence.

I will not let anyone tell me we must spend more money. This crisis did not come about because we issued too little money but because we created economic growth with too much money and it was not sustainable growth.
Angela Merkel
Image
Budget consolidation and economic growth are two sides of the same coin.
Angela Merkel

Particularly from a German perspective, from a European perspective, I can only say again, Russia is our neighbor.
Angela Merkel

Above all it is important to point out that we can only maintain our prosperity in Europe if we belong to the most innovative regions in the world.

The substance of the constitution is preserved. That is a fact.

We have freedom to demonstrate in Germany, but there is no place for incitement and insulting people who come to us from other countries.

I am courageous at the decisive moment. But I need a good deal of start-up time, and I try to take as much as possible into consideration beforehand.
