Why would she not be responsible for her own policy decisions?

We have the most powerful populist in charge of our country - just look what happens when you go with 'popularist' policies. Absolute corruption and chaos
As a populist I disavow BoJo! I wouldn't call him a populist - he's an opportunist, and not even a very good one.

We will have to disagree on that. His policies may not be popularist, his policies are elitist. BUT he has come to power on the back of popularist policies.
I will agree.
Nobody denies her skills.
I have already started a thread about Eurocracy.
ECB= Emperor
Political leaders= vassals

In which you bring up zero decisions Merkel factually made.
I speak of the emperor (ECB) not of the vassals (Merkel).

Was Merkel directly responsible for any harmful policies enacted against the Italian people, or not?
If she was, can you name even a single one?
Absolutely not.
I said she did her best to serve her own Nation.
Unfortunately she served other masters too.

Then why did you cheer over her departure from politics, and agreed with Augustus who claimed that she had harmed the Italian people?Absolutely not.

If the ECB is the absolute monarch of Europe, and controls national officials like puppets - including all prime ministers of Italy - then it doesn't really matter which puppet of the ECB sits at the helm of Germany or Italy does it.

I see her departure with a laughing and a crying eye. Her policies were that of the CDU, too far right for my taste. What she did to the Greek was despicable (and, yes, it weren't solely her decisions but she put her effort and not small political talent into it). Speaking of talent, she was a political and diplomatic genius. And she did some good. In the first wave of Syrian refugees she said "wir schaffen das" (we can do it) - against opposition in her own party and other European leaders. Sadly, she didn't follow through. (Well, couldn't, as consent within Europe was always one of her main goals.)
tl;dr: I have great respect for her, even though I didn't always agree with her policies.
I don't know much about EU politics, was she popular in Europe? Why don't Italians tend to like her?In Italy there will be a shortage of champagne today....
So many people celebrating
"The 2015 Jobs Act introduced controversial changes to labor law. Its aim is to reduce barriers to employment by making it easier to dismiss workers." -- Labor policy in Italy - Wikipedia
I can see why that would be controversial.
Good riddance! Throw a party! The traitor who flooded Germany with "refugees" is out. Now they need to stop the huge turd she dropped on Germany as a parting gift before leaving (draconian lockdown of the unjabbed).

She became something of a figurehead for both the handling of the 2015/16 refugee crisis in Europe, as well as the general anti-Trump sentiment among European leaders 2016-2020.
For these two reasons, she is intensely disliked by the xenophobic right all across Europe.
I can't help it.
I am a socialist.
At will employment doesn't exist in my world
