What does the future hold for ex-Chancellor Angela Merkel? Apparently not the job at the United Nations in New York City that she is said to have been offered.

For 16 years, Angela Merkel (67) steered the fortunes of Germany as Chancellor before she was dismissed in December 2021 at the Great Tattoo. Just over a month later, the first job offer arrived in her office. UN Secretary-General António Guterres (72), it is said, would like to guide Merkel to a United Nations advisory body and to New York City for this purpose.

However, Merkel does not appear to be ready for a new post so soon after her many years of exhausting work as Chancellor. Rather, she “phoned the UN Secretary-General last week, thanked him, and informed him that she would not accept the offer,” Merkel’s office said, according to media reports.

All in good time

In the United States of all places, Merkel had recently spoken about her time after being in the Chancellery. In July 2021, she received an honorary doctorate from Johns Hopkins University. At that time she had loud “Spiegel” said she didn’t “want to accept the next invitation right away because I’m afraid I have nothing to do and nobody wants me anymore.”
