Very noticeable that they didn't specify how he wasn't a dictator, nor what other label would be more appropriate.

What are you talking about? He doesn't hold elected office. Here's the last time he was re-appointed to his appointed position.

Even your link to the fucking guardian says he was elected fair and square. Unlike Jim Crow Joe.

She's not exactly known for being a smart person in Germany. Whoever thought she had what it takes to be a diplomat was clearly deluded. She only got the job as foreign minister because of proportional representation.
