Germany 'wants Wolfowitz to go'

Germany believes Paul Wolfowitz's position as head of the World Bank has become unsustainable, a German minister has told the Financial Times Deutschland (FTD) newspaper.

World Bank staff have called for Wolfowitz to quit following his admission that he approved promotion and high salaries for his girlfriend.

"The situation ... is no longer acceptable," Heidemarie Wieczorek-Zeul, a development minister, told the FTD in an article to run on Monday.

"My conclusion is that Wolfowitz should do the bank a service and take the consequences himself. The sooner, the better."
