Relations between Greece and Germany during Merkel’s long reign have seen ups and downs: many do not forgive Merkel for the tough stance taken by Germany during Greece’s severe financial crisis, when severe austerity measures were imposed on the country by its international creditors.
The German chancellor herself described the Greek crisis as one of the biggest challenges of her 16-year rule.
