German Chancellor Angela Merkel appealed to business leaders at the World Economic Forum to give policy makers the space they need to tackle the debt crisis, pledging that Europe will pull together and restore confidence.
“I would like to ask all of you who are here as the representatives of the business community” to recognize how democratic governments work and to “please take the long-drawn-out processes with a degree of acceptance,” Merkel said in a question-and-answer session after opening the forum yesterday in Davos, Switzerland.
