Someone asked regarding a Q post about Merkel, but can't find it. Sorry I'm new here so I just put the info here.
Merkel's father was a STAZI or STASI agent so was Merkel in East Germany in the Soviet Union.
Stazi was the secret police in East Germany tightly close to KGB.
https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stasi
Only the hardcore kommunist and socialist people were members in these organizations.
She was the spokesperson for the East German Government lead by Lothar de Maiziére. Who turned out to be Stazi after the Soviet Union fell and the files were opened.
When the Soviet Union fell in 1990 she quickly jumped to the head of her current party CDU.
If you look her past you can only find KGB and Stazi agents backed up with official records, but there is NO record about Merkel herself beeing one of them….
A few things: Merkel and her father were regularly traveled to west. The thing you should know about the former Soviet Un. we called the western border "iron curtain" because NOBODY was ever allowed to travel west, because no one would return…
When the soviet military came in "to free us" and it came clear they not going back a lot of people went from East Germany to West G. while they could, but the same time for some unknown reason Merkel's family went to East G. and sadly stucked behind the wall….
She also was the protésée of Helmut Kohl he was one of the people who created the basis of the European UInion, and their vision was to create a United States of Europe.
I'm from Hungary I can give some info regarding Europe if needed. I hope I helped about Merkel.
