The magazine cited Angela Merkel’s role in Europe’s crises over migration and Greek debt. An editor said Mrs Merkel provided steadfast moral leadership in a world where it is in short supply. Merkel is the first
individual woman to receive the “Person of the Year” recognition since TIME changed its title from “Man of the Year” in 1999.
She’s been a very long-serving leader, the longest-serving in the west. She controls the world’s 4th largest economy. Below is the position of the finalists:
1. Angela Merkel – German chancellor since the 2005 election, leader of the CDU
2. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi – head of the Islamic State militant group
3. Donald Trump – business magnate seeking Republican nomination as US presidential candidate
4. Black Lives Matter – activist group campaigning against violence towards black people, notably in the US
5. Hassan Rouhani – president of Iran since 2013
6. Travis Kalanick – US entrepreneur, founder of the Uber transportation network firm
7. Caitlyn Jenner – born Bruce Jenner, became 1976 Olympic decathlon champion, officially changed name and gender in 2015….. Caitlyn was definitely cheated……
