Berlin (HRNW) German Chancellor Angela Merkel has blamed her country’s difficulties during the coronavirus pandemic from the slow vaccine rollout to the back-and-forth over lockdown rules on a tendency toward perfectionism and called for greater flexibility to tackle the latest surge in cases.
In a lengthy television interview with public broadcaster ARD late Sunday, Merkel acknowledged that mistakes were made by her government, including on plans for an Easter lockdown.
The long-time leader also expressed frustration over the actions of some of Germany’s state governors, including members of her own party, who have resisted tougher restrictions they had previously agreed to.
