Berlin Former Chancellor Gerhard Schröder loses all employees in his Bundestag office. “I can confirm that the four employees in the office have asked to work in other functions again,” said Albrecht Funk from the office when asked by Reuters.
The four are formally employed by the Chancellery and are now being employed elsewhere. Funk does not want to comment on the reasons.
