During a German cabinet meeting on Monday, Merkels Deputy, Mr Olaf Scholz slammed the EU Commission Chief saying “it went to s**t” and he didn’t want to see the same “s*** to repeat itself”.
Mrs Merkel did allow Mr Scholtz to vent his rage at the current situation, but Merkel intervened when Mr Scholz mentioned the Chief Commissioners name.
The strong solidarity within the EU seems to be in tatters after these remarks were vented. Commission Chief Von Der Leyen certainly has a mountain to climb to reassemble her reputation.
