On Wednesday, a Shaky attack
On Wednesday, the 64-year-old Prime Minister had suffered a the third shaking of a seizure within a few weeks, when Standing in the main courtyard of the Chancellery. But, a little later, Merkel presented itself again, as all of you know, for many years. Calmly and factually, without emotions, with a slight Smile on his lips: “I’m fine. I said the other day that I’m in a phase of Processing of the last military honors with the President Selenskyj,. The is obviously not finished yet, but progress is being made.

Where does uncontrolled Spasms or Tremors?
There are numerous causes why an Affected suddenly, trembling or cramping. Often fluid intake and rest helps. Uncontrolled Trembling, but also announce a more serious condition. (10.07.2019)
Willy Brandt, the SPD Chancellor at the beginning of the Seventies, had long depressive phases, the Germans learned of it. Helmut Kohl, the supernatant as a Registrar in 1989, shortly before the fall of the wall, at a CDU party Congress in a coup of the party’s internal critics, and the hellish pain due to a prostate disorder. No man learned about it.
The Chancellor obviously knew what they were doing. The Germans, for whom reliability is in the policy of a great Good, don’t like it when their political leaders weaken, and don’t want to know mostly. Also politicians will be more than in other democracies, were, in Germany, a Private sphere. The elsewhere it is seen quite differentiated. In the United States is openly reported in the blood values of the President, even in France, it is no impropriety to speak on the state of health of the President. Anyway, today.

Dictatorships and controlled democracies do, therefore, heavier. Whether in Eastern Europe or in Asia, in Africa or Latin America: dictators and autocrats will not get sick, at least not officially. Also this Image walls to riding a Vladimir Putin bare-chested through the countryside. In Germany, Angela Merkel has taken during the military honours for the First the drama out of the debate about their state of health. You said: “I must for now live with the Tremors.” Now you started it.
