The modest Chancellor of Germany

Country house Angel Merkel

The picture shows a suburban house Angel Merkel just above. In electronic Internet media, this house is loudly called the "suburban residence of the head of the German government." At the same time, this country house is the only suburban real estate that the Zauer-Merkel couple has.

Many Russians, considering this photograph, will be tormented by doubts about what is possible. In our city, you can see entire streets of private houses belonging not that governors or mayors, but simply ordinary officials, in comparison with which the “country residence” Merkel more resembles a room for the serving, and not the abode of the chancellor of the most powerful European country in Europe.

Needless to talk about how the suburban houses of those in power look in Russia, even if an ordinary citizen at some point in time begins to be interested in the cost of the pool for a summer residence in order to build it on his modest six acres?

And meticulous journalists found a house in Berlin, in which Angel Merkel rents an apartment. No, she does not own a four -story building with a semi -basement. Her property is not that at least one floor, but even one apartment. The Federal Chancellor of Germany rents an apartment. One. At the same time, he pays for housing money from his own funds, and not from the state budget. Angela Merkel refused to move to the state apartment of repeated proposals. She prefers to live where she likes. And pay for it yourself.

And the husband of Angels Merkel pays for his own person if he has to fly with his wife on a state plane or helicopter. Therefore, he prefers, if necessary, to fly on vacation separately from his wife. Tickets for regular flights are much cheaper.
