Resumen
ALANDER, Minna. German Council Presidency 2020 and the end of the Merkel era. Relações Internacionais [online]. 2021, n.70, pp.79-93. Epub 30-Jul-2021. ISSN 1645-9199. https://doi.org/10.23906/ri2021.70a05.
Since the Treaty of Lisbon entered into force, the EU Council Presidency has been mainly responsible for the internal coordination and organisation of the Council’s daily work. Only under certain circumstances it assumes a leadership role that goes beyond day-to-day management - such as in 2020, as Germany took on the Presidency in a moment of unprecedented crisis. Chancellor Angela Merkel demonstrated her expertise as crisis manager one more time and used the chance to mark her European legacy with the ‘Next Generation EU’ recovery package. Last words about Chancellor Merkel as a European leader have yet to be said, however, as her party’s popularity is plummeting in the polls in the run-up to the federal elections in Germany.
