Prva ministrica Nemčije tudi priznava sodelovanje z NSA, kot pričakovano.
In an interview with the weekly Die Zeit, Merkel defended German intelligence services and the surveillance of telecommunications under certain circumstances.
"For me, there is absolutely no comparison between the Stasi in East Germany and the work of intelligence services in democratic states," she told Die Zeit. These are "two totally different things, and such comparisons only lead to a trivialization of what the Stasi did to the people in East Germany."
