But a disease could turn into a political issue if it is not guaranteed that politicians can carry out their full energy tasks”, the Western city daily wrote in Thursday's editorial.

There's probably nothing to worry about in Merkel's case. It is possible that her trembling will be occasional and limited at the time when she stands still”, the KSA adds.

But again, maybe not. The Chancellor must do himself a favor, go public and address these concerns. Otherwise, he will no longer be able to free himself from this” debate, the paper points out, follow.
