It would help if Mr Merkel (I know it’s not his real name) showed up for these things, but I expect he’s a bit bored of the shopping-and-orphanage type visits they arrange for the spouses on these events.
I did notice there were more than 20. Have some of them (Berlusconi?) got more than one wife?
I was also going to say that Herr Merkel was missing, but then I also remembered that he’s not called Merkel.
One google later and I now I know his name is Joachim Sauer and that he’s a Professor at the Humboldt University. I imagine his quantum chemistry research is considerably more interesting than posing for photo shoots.
Now I’m off to google the wives to see if they have/had more interesting jobs.
