German Chancellor Angela Merkel presented former chancellor Gerhard Schroder's biography 'Gerhard Schroder - The Biography' by Gregor Schollgen in Berlin, Tuesday. Merkel's predecessor and former opponent Schroder, was also present at the event. Merkel expressed her recommendations for the 1036-page book, however admitted, "some of I absorbed, some of it I read less deeply." Schroder thanked the chancellor for presenting the book despite former discrepancies between the two. When asked about parallels between the refugee crisis and Schroder's 'Agenda 2010' programme - a job market reform strategy that was aimed at tackling growing unemployment, mostly implemented by the German government from 2003 to 2005 - Merkel rejected the question, saying she struggles to find parallels between the challenges Schroder had faced and the ones she faces today.
