As an angel Merkel became the main politician of Europe and what threatens her now. Podcast "Medusa"

Angel Merkel, 62-year-old native of Hamburg, who grew up in East Germany, has been in the post of chancellor for 12 years. During this time, she managed to turn into the most powerful politician of Europe, and recently - into a symbol of Western liberalism, which is threatened with new right and conservatives from all sides. In the fall of 2017, parliamentary elections will be held in Germany, in which this threat may affect Merkel itself: there is a serious probability that its CDS party will lose power as a result of the elections, and the chancellor himself will have to resign. Medusa presents an audio version of the reporting of journalist Dmitry Vacedin about how Angel Merkel managed to make a brilliant political career - and what challenges are facing her now.
