Juncker honors Merkel as an exceptional European
Luxemburg - "She was a calm voice of reason that we will still miss in Europe," he told the Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland (Thursday editions). Merkel's greatest merit after 16 years in office: "Merkel has finally made Europe an important part of the German state serenity," said Juncker: "After Merkel, no German Chancellor will be able to afford not to be pro-European anymore. Merkel has finally anchored Germany in the European port. "
The outgoing Chancellor had "usually asked the right questions," the Luxembourger continued: "That is a sign of quality, not weakness." Juncker did not rule out that Merkel will continue to play a role in international politics in the future. "I do not think that you feel like it. I do not want to rule out that she will be asked to bring her experience and talent to a certain situation," said the Christian Democrat from Luxembourg. "But I am sure that Angela Merkel will not take up a new office," he continued: "Which office should that be? The German Chancellor has more influence than the UN Secretary General. And whoever was a pastor does not want to return to their village as a chaplain."
