The Acting Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel shared his plans after the completion of the political career and told that she would like to travel more and read. This was announced in an interview with the newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
“I see that there are a number of things that I didn’t have enough chancellor. Maybe a little travel, reading or easy to do something in your free time, knowing that after 20 minutes nothing will happen to anything. I’m waiting “,” said politician.
Earlier, Merkel said that he experienced relief and gratitude when he received a notice of resignation from the hands of German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier. According to Merkel, she was satisfied with the work done in 16 years. Merkel will perform the obligations of the Chancellor until its successor is elected.
