German Social Democrat leader to resign after cancer diagnosis

POLITICO reports that one of Germany’s three Social Democrats leaders, Manuela Schwesig, announced Tuesday she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and will step down from her duties at national level.

“The good news is that this cancer is curable,” Schwesig announced Tuesday, DPA reported. “However, it requires medical treatment. This will mean that I will not be able to attend public appointments every day in the coming months.”
