>>476440928Dutchfag here, I know about the scandal. People make too much of those things, if you ask me. Social pressure in the West is kind of stifling. Not as stifling as anywhere else in the world, but we're no longer living in the 70's, I suppose.
But I think she looks cute in that picture. Like, my type kind of cute. It's just such a far cry from the chancellor who pulls a sour face at Femen, and pretty much everything else. Stuck in frumpy, politically acceptable clothing and everything. Past and present Merkel look like two different people.
Of course, that's a media impression. And the media are not to be trusted.
