Merkel rejects 'easy answers' in slap at populist take on crises
Chancellor Angela Merkel urged Germans to embrace global change and consider the country's international responsibilities as she went on the offensive to justify her policies that have alienated voters.
Addressing parliament three days after an anti-immigration party defeated her Christian Democratic Union in a state election, Merkel sought to stand above the political fray and reclaim her role as defender of economic and social stability. She signaled she won't stoop to populist rhetoric to win back voters, saying there are no easy answers.
"Many countries expect Germany in particular to play an important role, as we just saw at the G-20" summit in China, Merkel said in her lower-house speech. "Germany is economically strong and stable. In these times of globalization, we serve our country best if we're guided by the values that made us what we are: freedom, security, justice and solidarity."
