Angela Merkel encounters empty supermarket shelves in Italy
Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel encountered empty supermarket shelves during a visit to Cava de' Tirreni, Italy. While vacationing on the Amalfi Coast, Merkel visited a Conad supermarket near the highway, accompanied by an interpreter and six bodyguards.
Staff at the supermarket explained that the lack of produce and other goods was due to an ongoing strike by Italian road transporters. The strike reportedly lasted until the end of the week. Despite the shortages, Merkel purchased local specialties, including Gragnano pasta and buffalo mozzarella.
