⚡🇩🇪 WATCH - German Chancellor Merz snapped at a terminally ill woman who challenged health cuts and political pay.
A woman with stage IV cancer said:
I’ve already sent you an invitation to my funeral… I can’t afford it.
Why are cuts hitting us citizens… but not politicians?
Merz, visibly irritated, shot back:
At no point… was it ever considered to raise government salaries.
I would be grateful if you would not repeat that unchecked.
