I think we live in a period of profound transformation. Very similar to when we had a transition from agricultural societies to industrial societies.
Angela Merkel
Image
From a German point of view, German-American and European-American relations are a pillar of our foreign policy.
Angela Merkel
Image
Belong purportedly to certain groups say, We are the people and not the others. That is something that we cannot allow to happen. That is something that I think at the time in the GDR - at the time when we had this in the GDR, where the people stood in the street and said, We are the people, that is something that filled me with great joy.

It will not be possible to solve the current crisis with euro bonds.

As the head of the government, it is my responsibility to make the overriding political goals and relationships more clear.

Angela Merkel
Image
I feel like we are in a community of people who sign up for these values who try to maintain them and wherever they are not yet respected, to stand up for people's rights to enjoy them, as well. And this is worth every effort.
Angela Merkel
Image
We cannot stand alone. With 80 million people in this world of today, you cannot, when you just stand on your own, achieve much even though you may be economically strong.
Angela Merkel
Image
Alliances are part of our destiny as a nation, part of our future as a nation and this is what guides me in my policy, what guides my government as a whole.
Angela Merkel
Image
It is actually a very good thing, if after eight years of coverage the president of the United States [Barack Obama] says that this is a cooperation based on friendship that we cooperated well.
Angela Merkel
Image
The Freedom Bell in Berlin is, like the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, a symbol which reminds us that freedom does not come about of itself. It must be struggled for and then defended anew every day of our lives.
Angela Merkel
Image
If I run a time-limited test program, I'll never discover whether markets with additional employment truly exist. A solution in the low-wage sector cannot be a limited special program.
Angela Merkel
Image
In Europe it is particularly important that we build good relations to everyone who holds political responsibility because Europe can only be build together.
Angela Merkel
Image
From this experience we have learned that in a big party it is important to have the necessary and often controversial discussions on policy issues such as the health system while in opposition.
Angela Merkel
Image
The problem is, of course, that these interest groups are all asking for changes, but their enthusiasm for change rapidly disappears when it affects the core of their own interests.

Spying among friends is never acceptable.
