Merkel returns to suffer a visible body tremor at an event in Berlin

[Mr.Espinoza ♔♔♔]

 

The chancellor was in the seat of the Presidency of the country to attend the act of cessation before the head of the State, Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

The German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, suffered again this morning a visible tremor in hands and legs during the ceremony held at the Bellevue palace in Berlin.

Merkel was at the headquarters of the country's presidency to attend the cessation ceremony with the head of state, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, of the former German justice minister Katharina Barley, who is leaving for Brussels, and the appointment of his successor , Christine Lambrecht.

In the images broadcast by the German chains, you can see how the chancellor, who turns 65 next July 17, tries to contain the tremors and shortly after rejects a glass offered by an assistant.
 

Last week Merkel tried to play down the speculation about her state of health after an episode similar to that of this morning, when she was seen trying to control a tremor of hands and legs while receiving the President of Ukraine, Volodímir Zelenski, to visit of work in Berlin.

The images of the Chancellor under the sun, with signs of physical weakness and holding hands repeatedly to try to calm the tremor, for about half a minute and while the German anthem sounded, quickly became the subject of comments in the German media.

"I'm fine, I've drunk at least three glasses of water, which seems to be missing, now I feel good again," said the chancellor, who attributed her trembling to a supposed problem of dehydration, when asked by that issue in a joint appearance with Zelenski.

Unlike the act with the Ukrainian president, which took place outdoors, in the courtyard of the Chancellery, today was held inside the palace of Bellevue.

Germany is going through these days a heat wave with temperatures of almost 39 degrees yesterday in some parts of the country, although the weather promises for today and tomorrow a small truce until the weekend, where temperatures similar to those on Wednesday are expected again . EFE
