Merkel Sitting Again For 2nd Time Since Latest Shaking Episode

Angela Merkel received new Moldovan Prime Minister Maia Sandu on Tuesday.

Germany’s chancellor has suffered several public trembling episodes for the last month. The first episode occurred in mid-June, when she could be seen shivering next to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, was explained by her team as dehydration on a hot day.

A week later, the senior official was captured on a video, shaking at a meeting with German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

Last week, Merkel suffered a new bout of tremors at a meeting with Finnish Prime Minister Antti Rinne in Berlin.

During the latest incident, the German chancellor and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen broke the protocol by sitting during the national anthem. According to media reports, Mekel was the one to ask for the change.
