Is Merkel taking maternity leave because she is pregnant?
We have been receiving requests for a status post for a few days now. The title: “Merkel surprisingly pregnant – Chancellor on maternity leave from August”. The status post looks like this:
If you follow the link, you will read the following lines:
“Nobody expected this news: As was officially announced this morning, Chancellor Angela Merkel and her husband Joachim Sauer are expecting their first child together in October. At the end of August, the Chancellor will go on maternity leave, followed by 14 months of parental leave.” ( Source )
Is that correct?
No! Was just kidding! It's all just satire!
All those who have been scared out of their wits here can be reassured that the report in the “Ein Zeitung” is, like everything in the “Ein Zeitung” satire!
Honestly though!
Is it really that hard to see? A look at the website is enough.
