Does German Chancellor Merkel Have A Health Problem?



Daily Mail: Fears for Angela Merkel's health after the 64-year-old is seen violently shaking for a minute while welcoming Ukraine's new president to Berlin

* German Chancellor Angela Merkel was seen visibly shaking in the heat in Berlin
* Concerns for her health after the 'trembling spell' next to new Ukraine president
* Mrs Merkel dismissed incident as dehydration brought on by the 28C (82F) heat
* Chancellor seemed to recover after she drank 'at least three glasses of water'

German Chancellor Angela Merkel dismissed concerns about her health after visibly trembling at an official ceremony, saying she was just a bit dehydrated in the heat.

Merkel appeared unsteady and was shaking as she stood in the midday sun in Berlin on Tuesday next to visiting Ukraine's new president Volodymyr Zelensky, whom she was welcoming to her office building with military honours.

Mrs Merkel's whole body visibly shook and she pursed her lips as she tried to contain the situation as she stood with Zelenskiy in the 28C (82F) heat while a military band played their national anthems outside the chancellery.

But following the anthems, Mrs Merkel seemed better, walking quickly along the red carpet with Zelenskiy into the building, pausing to greet the military band and taking a salute.
