Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who held the position between 2005 and 2021 and during that time he was one of the most powerful people in the world, publishes his memoirs this Tuesday, under the title of Freedom.
For this reason, Merkel has given an interview with the Timeswhere among other things he breaks his silence about the famous meeting he had in 2007 with the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, in Sochi.
That meeting caused rivers of ink to flow: at one point during the meeting, in front of all the cameras, Putin He let his dog Connie into the living room, a spectacular black labrador.
The key to all this is that Merkel always he had an insurmountable panic for dogssomething Putin knew, although the Russian president denied it. The fact is that Connie walked around the room to Merkel’s obvious discomfort, to which Putin asked: “The dog doesn’t bother you, right? She’s a friendly dog and I’m sure she’ll behave.”
Now, Merkel has remembered that day and said that she is sure that Putin knew about her fear. “From Putin’s facial expression I could tell that “I was enjoying the situation.”says the conservative politician.
International analysts interpreted Putin’s dark psychological gesture as a maneuver to intimidate its German counterpart during bilateral talks.
