Merkel's memoir 'Freedom', co-written with adviser Beate Baumann, is set for release and is expected to provide insights into her 16-year legacy during a tumultuous time for Germany.
In 'The Illusion', journalist Eckart Lohse claims Merkel left behind a country full of unfinished business, highlighting a growing critical perspective on her governance as Germany faces severe challenges.
Political scientist Wolfgang Schroeder pointed out that shifts in the political landscape since Merkel's departure include the Ukraine war and the collapse of Germany's export-oriented economic model.
Researcher Marie Krpata noted a stark change in public opinion since 2021, explaining how Merkel's once 'very positive overall' image has diminished amid ongoing political and economic crises post-retirement.
