It hard to imagine how either might have been managed without German Chancellor Angela Merkel. She faced her share of sometimes deserved criticism along the way. But Merkel toughness, resilience and endurance helped hold the European Union together through these unprecedented challenges.Yet her political moment is nearing an end. Merkel bailouts for financially vulnerable countries like Greece, and especially her decision to open Germany borders to more than 1 million refugees, have eroded her popularity at home.
