EU demands Wolfowitz resignation
Calls for the resignation of World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz grew today as the European Parliament voiced its displeasure over allegations that he arranged a promotion and big pay package for his girlfriend.
The EU demand that the development chief step down comes as a special panel at the bank is investigating whether Wolfowitz violated any bank rules in his handling of the promotion of bank employee Shaha Riza to a high-paying job at the State Department in 2005.
