In her autobiography “Freedom: Memoirs 1954-2021,” former German Chancellor Angela Merkel reveals the intense and unexpected negotiations with Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras during the 2010s debt crisis. As Greece teetered on the brink of financial collapse, Merkel recounts how Tsipras’s decision to put a bailout deal to a referendum left both her and then-French Prime Minister Francois Hollande momentarily speechless. Despite Greek voters initially rejecting the bailout terms, Merkel’s determination to keep Greece in the Eurozone led to renewed negotiations and a subsequent agreement that stabilized the nation’s economy.
