Celebs naked content from Angela Merkel

German politician Angela Dorothea Merkel (née Kasner, born 17 July 1954) has been serving as Chancellor of Germany since 2005 and has led the centre-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU) since the year 2000. Merkel is often regarded as a key figure within the European Union and recognized for her influence in global leadership.

Merkel was born in Hamburg, West Germany, but relocated to East Germany shortly after birth when her father, a Lutheran minister, accepted a pastoral position in Perleberg. She earned a doctorate in quantum chemistry in 1986 and worked as a research scientist until transitioning into politics following the Revolutions of 1989. In 1990, she briefly held the position of deputy spokesperson for Lothar de Maizière's first democratically elected government in East Germany. After German reunification that same year, she was elected to represent Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in the Bundestag and has maintained her seat through subsequent elections. As an ally of Chancellor Helmut Kohl, Merkel took on the role of Federal Minister for Women and Youth in Kohl’s administration starting in 1991 before becoming Federal Minister for Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety three years later. Following her party's defeat in the federal election of 1998, she ascended to Secretary-General of CDU before making history as its first female leader two years afterward amidst a donations controversy that affected Wolfgang Schäuble.

After winning the federal election of 2005, Merkel became Germany's first female Chancellor leading a grand coalition formed by CDU along with its Bavarian counterpart CSU and SPD. In the subsequent federal election held in 2009, CDU garnered significant voter support enabling Merkel to establish a coalition with FDP. During the federal elections conducted in 2013, Merkel’s CDU achieved substantial success with over forty-one percent of votes cast resulting again in another grand coalition with SPD after FDP lost all seats within Bundestag. The CDU maintained its status as leading party during the federal elections held again in 2017; however, talks regarding coalitions with FDP and Greens were unsuccessful that November.

In addition to her domestic roles, Merkel served as President of the European Council during part of 2007 where she played an integral role negotiating both Treaty of Lisbon and Berlin Declaration. Strengthening economic ties between Europe and North America has been one consistent focus throughout her tenure. She effectively managed financial crises at both European levels internationally earning her reputation as "the decider." Significant topics under her Chancellorship have included healthcare reform initiatives alongside energy development strategies while also addressing ongoing issues related to migration policies recently faced by her government. On March 26th ,2014 ,Merkel marked herself as longest-serving head-of-government currently active within EU frameworks while holding seniority among G7 leaders.
