Merkel Says Schaeuble to Stay Finance Minister in New Cabinet
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Sunday that her veteran finance minister Wolfgang Schaeuble, who has managed her response to the eurozone crisis, would stay on in the job during her third term.
Unveiling the full list of her new cabinet with a left-right "grand coalition" government, Merkel said mother-of-seven Ursula von der Leyen would become Germany's first female defense minister.
The current defense minister, Thomas de Maiziere, will become interior minister.
