Margot Kässmann is a moral authority in Germany and beyond: She was the first woman Leader of the Protestant Church in Germany between 2009 and 2010. She has earned a reputation of calling out clashes of values and reality in politics.
Kässmann talks to Michaela Küfner about what drives Angela Merkel when she takes profound policy decisions like shutting down German society during the Covid-19 pandemic. Is she really driven purely by her strong values, or is Merkel at times just better at glossing over the compromises she makes?
