Berlin, June 27: German Chancellor Angela Merkel was seen trembling once again during a ceremony in Berlin on Thursday, eight days after a similar incident.
Video showed Merkel, 64, gripping her arms as her body was shaking on Thursday. After about two minutes, she looked a bit more stable and held out her hand to shake with the new justice minister.
She was offered a glass of water, but refused to drink it citing she felt better.
Merkel who had been through this earlier as well had blamed the previous incident on dehydration.
Her spokesman has said that she would set off for her Japanese tour as planned at lunchtime.
“All is going ahead as planned. The federal chancellor is fine,” spokesman Steffen Seibert said.
German news agency DPA has said, that despite the spell of very hot weather it was relatively cool during the prestigious ceremony in Bellevue Castle, where President Frank-Walter Steinmeier was seen presenting Justice Minister Christine Lambrecht.
Last time, Merkel trembled while standing next to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky in the sunshine. She said she had felt better and found relief after drinking some water.
