Some time ago the world saw German Chancellor Angela Merkel basking in the glory. The differences between East and West Germany were being effectively bridged. The country became much more tolerant with the Germans of Turkish descent rooted in mainstream society and making it to the top. The grand coalition between the Social Democrats and the Christian Democrats functioned effectively and smoothly. It lasted for a long time. Germany was an undisputed EU leader calling the shots in Europe. As recently as last year, the Chancellor’s picture appeared on the cover of Time magazine as the person of the year in 2015.
