It seems you did not read the link you posted. He more or less debunks the myths about an "IM Erika" as a lot of other false accusations.
You can blame Merkel for not often speaking about her past in the GDR, but there is no real evidence that she has worked for the Stasi or has been in a leading position in any of the GDR's secret service branches.
Direct quote from S:'s link:
"Man mag Merkel vorwerfen, dass sie als Bundeskanzlerin nicht wirklich offen über ihre DDR-Vergangenheit spricht. Ein Beleg für eine Tätigkeit für den Staatssicherheitsdienst ist ihre vergleichsweise unbedeutende Funktion in der FDJ in jedem Fall nicht."
Here is the whole article, by Google translate:

If you look for "IM Erika" or "Traitor Merkel" you will of course find lots of stuff, approximately as reliable and true like a Sun or Breitbart article.
