63% : Yet overall, she leaves Germany better than she found it, stronger economically, more socially diverse, and the undisputed heart of the European Union.
55% : "She wanted to make sure that the EU didn't fall apart in the most difficult phases: the debt-crisis with Greece, Brexit, and [the coronavirus].
