European leaders are pressuring Paul Wolfowitz to resign his position as Wold Bank president. Wolfowitz, who has withheld¹ World Bank loans from several countries until they show greater progress in fighting corruption², recently arranged for his girlfriend Shaha Riza to get a transfer to the US State Department and more than double the raise she was allowed under the rules of the World Bank, which pays her tax-free salary. Wolfowitz has apologized, but many feel that he has damaged the bank's reputation. According to international newspaper the Financial Times, "In the interests of the bank itself, he should resign. If he does not, the board must ask him to go."
