Watch as Chancellor Angela Merkel (whose CDU just suffered a crushing defeat in Sunday’s Thuringia elections), French President Emmanuel Macron and Italian President Sergio Mattarella, and of course, Christine Lagarde who will now be left holding the (Berkin) bag, speak at a farewell event held in Draghi’s honor this afternoon.
