German Chancellor Angela Merkel was seen shaking in public for the third time in less than a month, raising new questions about her health.
After Merkel’s second episode, CNN reported that tremors could be caused “by a number of conditions, ranging from neurological disorders to less serious issues such as medicinal side effects, stress or caffeine consumption.”
Merkel announced last year that she would not seek re-election when her term ends in 2021. Reuters reported that if Merkel became “incapacitated, [German President Frank-Walter] Steinmeier would appoint a cabinet minister as acting chancellor until parliament elects a new chancellor.”
