Probably Angela Merkel gave her last New Year's speech as Chancellor. She said 2020 was the most difficult year of his chancellor's life.

In her New Year's greetings, German Chancellor Angela Merkel simply told the truth without hesitation. "I'm not exaggerating," she said. The last 15 years have not been as difficult as the year that is coming to an end. Corona is the biggest political, social and economic challenge of the century.

It's a historic crisis," Merkel said. All of you have trusted me and waited patiently to deal with it. So I thank everyone from the bottom of my heart.

Merkel is right. The coronavirus has changed the whole world. 1.7 million people have been infected in Germany. 32,000 have died. Don't stop. Rather the number of victims is increasing. This is the first time Germany has seen a thousand deaths in a single day.

In her speech, Merkel thanked the doctors and paramedics. Congratulations to all who have joined the fight against Corona. "Countless people have helped us survive," she said. Those who have worked and are working in various places including supermarkets, delivery of goods, running buses and trains, police stations, schools, kindergartens, churches.
