DECRYPTION - The restrictions decided in pain for Easter illustrate the growing tensions between Angela Merkel and the sixteen Länder.


It is an Angela Merkel with drawn features, struggling to camouflage her defeat, who came to announce, Tuesday at 2:30 am, the immediately criticized results of an anti-Covid summit.
