BERLIN (MNI) – German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble is on his
way to recovery from his current health problems, a ministry spokesman
said Wednesday.
“My impression is that the recovery process of the minister is
proceeding,” spokesman Michael Offer said at a regular government press
conference here.
Last week, the Finance Ministry denied a press report that
Schaeuble planned to step down if his health did not improve
significantly after his current stay in the hospital.
At the end of last week, Schaeuble started four weeks of treatment
for pressure sores related to his confinement to a wheel chair. The
68-year old minister had already spent several weeks in the hospital
last week because of the same problems.
