German Chancellor Angela Merkel plans to take a break after retiring from politics. She said this today, accepting the honorary doctorate from the American Johns Hopkins University, DPA reported.
Merkel is on a visit to the United States, which is probably her last as chancellor because she will not run in the September elections.
She plans to rest and consider her interests, because due to her duties as chancellor for the last 16 years, there has not been much time for that. Merkel added that she will not miss the need to make constant decisions, although out of habit she will probably first start thinking about what she has to do today, and then she will quickly remember that someone else is already performing these tasks. “And I think I’ll like that a lot,” the chancellor said
