Germany’s fourth-term Chancellor, Angela Merkel, banged her podium in the German parliament and spoke of families’ “last Christmas with the grandparents” as she moves to shut down the country.

66-year-old Merkel, widely regarded as the most powerful and influential leader in the European Union, is facing a political maelstrom at home, as coronavirus cases rise and the Pfizer vaccine co-developed with the German firm BioNTech remains tied up by EU regulators.

“I want to say this: if we have too much contact over Christmas, and afterwards it turns out that that was the last Christmas with the grandparents, then we will have really messed up and we should not mess up!” she said in an address to the German parliament in which she shook her fist and banged her podium, according to a Reuters report.

Earlier this month, German Economy Minister Peter Altmaier pledged that Berlin will prevent Lufthansa from being sold, amid reports that the company is seeking a €10 billion bailout from the government in exchange for a stake in the airline.
Chancellor Angela Merkel has told senior members of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) that the European Union plans to take away some of Lufthansa's takeoff and landing slots in Munich and Frankfurt, stressing her government won't allow that to happen, the newspaper Handelsblatt reported on Monday.

The European Union doesn’t want Brexit to happen. And if it were to happen it would only be acceptable to them if it looks like the deal Mrs. May put before the House of Commons twice only to be rebuked by historic margins.
