Luxembourg/Brussels - The future of Jean-Claude Juncker as chair of the influential eurogroup of nations that share the European common currency was thrown into question Thursday after the Luxembourg premier said he would be stepping down from his post as finance minister. According to daily Luxembourger Wort, Juncker announced on Wednesday his intention of giving up his second cabinet post immediately after Sunday's national election.
But the 54-year-old premier later told RTL radio that he would not be leaving the presidency of the eurogroup, which is next due to meet in his homeland on Monday evening.
