Merkel supports left-wing policies. She allowed her party members a free vote for legalizing same-sex "marriages". In June 2017 the German parliament voted for legalizing them, including some MPs from Merkel's party. Her nation harshly opposes [[homeschooling]]. However Merkel herself voted against the proposal. She supports the socialist and globalist [[European Union]] and open borders. Her left-wing policies contributed significantly to the [[European migrant crisis]].
Merkel supports [[liberal]] and [[Globalism|globalist]] policies. She allowed her party members a free vote for legalizing same-sex "marriages".

Merkel fears that the EU has failed to define its common interests "for the (commercial) battles of the future" now Europe's cold war priorities of keeping "peace and freedom" have been achieved. "This is where I think Europe needs to learn a lot, not to concentrate too much on whether bicycle paths are built the same way in Portugal and north-west Germany."

Domestically, Merkel recognises the need for change in the country's consensual model. "In Germany, we are always facing the danger that we are a little bit too slow. We have to speed up our changes."
