German Chancellor Angela Merkel has dismissed a report claiming she has concluded the new leader of her center-right party isn’t up to leading the country.
Merkel handed over the leadership of her Christian Democratic Union (CDU) to Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer in December and said she wouldn’t seek a fifth term as chancellor.
In Sunday’s European Parliament election the Union bloc had its worst result in a nationwide vote since World War II, AP said.
On Tuesday, Bloomberg reported, citing its sources, that Merkel has decided Kramp-Karrenbauer isn’t up to Germany’s top job. However, asked about that late Tuesday, Merkel replied: “I can only say that is nonsense.”
