Chancellor Angela Merkel has agreed with other conservative European leaders to help President Nicolas Sarkozy in the French election campaign by spurning his Socialist challenger François Hollande, SPIEGEL has learned. Merkel's interference is causing tension in her own government.
Nicolas Sarkozy is tirelessly touring France on the campaign trail, portraying himself as a man of action and as savior of Europe, but despite all his efforts, he is still trailing in opinion polls six weeks ahead of the presidential election. Thank goodness he has Angela Merkel on his side. The German chancellor has been unusually open in her support for a re-election of her French counterpart. [...] According to information obtained by SPIEGEL, leading conservative governments in the EU -- those in Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom -- have agreed not to receive Hollande during the campaign.
Merkel secretly agreed with Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti and Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy that Hollande should be shunned, SPIEGEL has learned. British Prime Minister David Cameron also agreed not to meet him.
