German Chancellor Angela Merkel has received another glowing endorsement to be a future president of the European Commission — this time from Luxembourg.
Luxembourg's Prime Minister Xavier Bettel told CNBC that Merkel would be a "dream candidate" for the presidency of Europe's main executive body.
"I love that idea, I've asked Angela Merkel several times. She would be a perfect candidate for the Council, for the Commission," Bettel told CNBC's Silvia Amaro in Luxembourg Thursday. Bettel's comments come after French President Emmanuel Macron said that he would support Merkel as the next president of the European Commission once Jean-Claude Juncker leaves the post on November 1.Top jobs
The next president of the Commission has to be approved by a majority of the 28 member states, but also by a majority of lawmakers at the European Parliament, the EU's legislative arm.
