Just read this article in one of Germany’s leading newspapers:
Bundesregierung will weiter für Ächtung der Todesstrafe kämpfen Nach der ersten einer Reihe von Hinrichtungen im amerikanischen Bundesstaat Arkansas kritisiert die Bundesregierung abermals die Vollstreckung der Todesstrafe. Diese sei „eine unmenschliche und grausame Form der Bestrafung (in German). Unfortunately, I could not find these letters. The above article did not provide a link.
Merkel saw it necessary to write a letter to the governor of Arkansas because of the series of executions scheduled there. In this letter, the German government appealed to the governor to commute the death sentence and that capital punishment is a cruel and inhumane punishment. Similarly, the German foreign ministry intervened as well, so did the German ambassador in Washington, DC.
Such an arrogance by Merkel to lecture the governor of Arkansas is incredible!
This woman has made so many profound mistakes since she became chancellor in 2005 it is high time for term limits in Germany. One of her last big mistakes was negotiating and signing the terrible Iran nuclear treaty with the Obama administration in July of 2015.
