Overview
- Published on March 14, 2026, the columns describe her as a harmful leader and even question her continued tenure by invoking Germany’s retirement age.
- They allege deference to Friedrich Merz, Mark Rutte and Donald Trump, claiming she floated sidelining international law before partially retreating under pressure.
- The writers fault her for urgently visiting Israel to embrace Benjamin Netanyahu and say she still backs Israel while endorsing a hard line on Iran, quoting “No hay que llorar por el régimen iraní.”
- Her renewed push for nuclear power is attacked as a grave error, with arguments about Europe’s uranium constraints, long-lived waste and the lessons of Fukushima and Chernobyl.
- One column asserts she seeks to break the EU’s unanimity rule to neutralize Viktor Orbán and Pedro Sánchez and also accuses her of a history of corruption scandals.
