Merkel broke promise to sack EU aide ‘Darth Vader’ over Downing Street dinner leak

The German Chancellor vowed to try and oust Jean-Claude Juncker’s aid Martin Selmayr following the disastrous Downing Street dinner in April.

The sinister aide is accused of leaking a blow-by-blow account of the heated private event when Mr Juncker reportedly said he left “10 times more sceptical” about Brexit than when he arrived, with details plastered all over German press.

The leak led to an angry response from Mrs May on the steps of Downing Street, warning that “there are some in Brussels who do not want these talks to succeed”.

Also known as “Juncker’s Monster” and “Rasputin”, the German-born lawyer is a renowned Eurofanatic

He is also a member of Angela Merkel’s Christian Democrat party and has close links to her team- although Mrs Merkel is said to “loath” him.
