Germany urges resignation of Wolfowitz

17:49' 24/04/2007 (GMT+7)

Germany openly called on Monday for resignation of World Bank leader Paul Wolfowitz over his handling of a promotion he approved for his girlfriend.

"The situation, as it is, is no longer acceptable," German Development Minister Heidemarie Wieczorek-Zeul, said in an interview published by the Financial Times Deutschland on Monday.

"My conclusion is that Wolfowitz should do the bank a service and take the consequences himself. The sooner, the better," said Wieczorek-Zeul, who is also Germany's governor to the World Bank.

Meanwhile German government spokesman Ulrich Wilhelm said that Berlin had "full confidence that the World Bank would find a solution that corresponds to its high principles."

The pressure to oust Wolfowitz comes as the board of the World Bank prepares to reach a decision on whether he broke bank rules when he ordered the bank's human resources chief to give his girlfriend a hefty pay rise.

More than 40 senior former World Bank executives signed an open letter published by the Financial Times on Monday calling for his immediate resignation.

I get the feeling they are all glad they have this excuse to get rid of him.

This pompous ass will probably use the Abu Gonzales defense.

Wolfowitz pledges 'major changes' as he fights to keep job at World Bank.

To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.

Can't they just vote him out, since he apparently isn't taking the heavy hints to resign?

I'm not sure they have the votes, and anyway they seem very reluctant to set the precedent.

Well, right now, it's an international scandal from what I've been reading. Wolfie needs to go.

There are insiders inside the bank leaking to the Financial Times every day now. He's dying the death of a thousand cuts.

Will they ever get the good sense to not approve these corrupt ideologues for the jobs in the first place?

Electing any of the current roster of Democrats for president in 2008 will rock the status quo every bit as much as Bill Clinton's impeachment did!
