BERLIN: Veteran German politician Wolfgang Schaeuble, who served as a member of the Bundestag parliament for over 1/2 a century, has died elderly 81, German media stated on Wednesday.
Schaeuble, who spent an awful lot of his profession committed to re-unifying his USA and later served as former chancellor Angela Merkel’s frugal finance minister throughout the eurozone debt disaster, died peacefully overdue Tuesday, the DPA news company stated.

Schaeuble changed into a member of Merkel’s centre-proper Christian Democrats given that 1965 and became a member of parliament in 1972, making him certainly one of Germany’s longest-serving politicians.
He became wheelchair-bound from 1990, while a deranged gunman’s bullets crippled and almost killed him.
