- At the ceremony in Leipzig’s Gewandhaus, the former chancellor said the promise of a life in freedom was under pressure.
- According to Merkel, populist parties sought to divide human dignity and stoke hatred and envy through social distinctions.
- She stressed that all German citizens belong to the people, regardless of when they became citizens.
- Clarinetist, conductor and composer Jörg Widmann received the 2026 Mendelssohn Prize in the Music category, which carried no monetary award.
“There are the people, and then there are the elites; then there are those who have been citizens only a short time, and those who have been citizens a little longer. They try to create divisions, to stir up hatred, to distinguish between people and thereby provoke envy.”— Angela Merkel said this at the International Mendelssohn Prize ceremony in Leipzig, speaking about populist attempts to divide people.
