Juncker’s campaign chief gets new job

The manager of Jean-Claude Juncker’s campaign to become president of the European Commission has accepted a job with a London-based international financial organisation.

The move has raised questions about Juncker’s candidacy.

Martin Selmayr, a senior commission official who took unpaid leave to run Juncker’s election campaign, has been appointed EU director at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the Commission said yesterday.
