“A new book is out that claims current German Chancellor Angela Merkel, while living in the 1980’s in then East Germany, was a physicist and also member of the communist youth organisation ‘Freie Deutsche Jugend’ at the Academy of Sciences in Eastern Berlin and was in charge of ‘agitation and propaganda’, the journalists Ralf Georg Reuth and Günther Lachmann claim in their book. ‘I never concealed anything’, she said at a Berlin cinema on Sunday night. Ms Merkel admitted that she was not only a member of the FDJ but also of the workers’ union and the German-Soviet friendship society, both organisations with strong ties to the ruling Communist party.”
