The German Chancellor has been spotted trembling uncontrollably two times in recent weeks, APA reports citing Sputnik.
The first shaking episode happened on 18 June as Merkel greeted newly elected Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. Merkel has toned down the concerns about her condition saying that the shaking bouts were caused by dehydration.
Angela Merkel has once again become the centre of attention after she was seen shaking while receiving Finnish Prime Minister Antti Rinne in Berlin.
The chancellor's body began trembling while she was watching military honours to mark the arrival of Finland’s head of the government.
Germany’s chancellor has suffered two public trembling episodes since mid-June.
The first time she was seen shaking while receiving the new Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy on 18 June.
The second time this condition appeared was on 27 June when Merkel attended an official ceremony to appoint a new justice minister in Berlin. She was seen holding her arms across her chest, while her legs appeared to be visibly trembling.
Germany’s 64-year-old chancellor later brushed off the concerns about her health, telling reporters that she was doing well and her condition was caused by mere dehydration.
Merkel, who turns 65 next week, has been leader of the centre-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU) Party since 2000, and chancellor of Germany since 2005, and has been reelected three times. The long-time leader of Europe's strongest economy has been called the most powerful woman in the world. Last October, Merkel announced that she would not be run for another term in office following setbacks in the 2018 elections.
