(Reuters) – German Chancellor Angela Merkel has not altered her view that Luxembourg’s Jean-Claude Juncker should become president of the European Commission, a government spokesman said on Friday.
The German chancellor has very clearly said, including in her recent speech to parliament, that she is in favor of Jean-Claude Juncker becoming the next European Commission president and that she will work towards him getting a majority, Steffen Seibert said, adding that nothing has changed in this regard.
