a public battle for the soul of the c.d.u. . not just in germany just the mecca played a strong and active road on the european stage let me go in correspondent in brussels bend if you get banned what have the reactions there been to charles the mcas announcements most of the experts i talked to that say europe without america is possible that maybe it's like face of uncertainty now but germany would remain of course in the chancellor can be and has to be replaced over time this is nothing unusual and not only have friends in europe some of the populist governments in poland in hungary in italy quite relief that the demise of the cunts that. the twilight zone for america now has started and the only big shot to come out in support of her was her close ally the french president.

she said he you want it will be it's her decision and i found it very respectable i just had the chance to express my admiration and my friendship to her. it's been thirteen years that she's been chancellor with a mandate ending in two thousand and twenty one and she spent eighteen years in charge of her party she's faced many challenges the migrant and financial crises and she's never forgotten the values of here and as she leaves her contrie with a lot of courage. that was the french president money and micro but then to give him the needed all of that america played in shaping european policy we've got decisions at home have any impact at the european level. it's of the rebuild have an impact there will be a phase of uncertainty and maybe also instability now until europe knows who will come after her who will be the next chance to have to say in the coalition

thirteen years of experience this is a plus for her but in the upcoming budget talks for example about the e.u. budget after two thousand and twenty one she will not play that decisive role that she would have played if she were for longer so we have to see but it's also possible that the government in berlin the grand coalition but not make it through the next three years in chains injured chances ship will be much the other expect giants bantry get investors thank you very much. entered politics at a time germany was grappling with this cultural legacy today germany's government is marking twenty years since the creation of the role of a federal commission for culture and the media two decades on there's general consensus on the great importance of art and culture in german society. after a long day for german chancellor angela merkel in political berlin there was reason
