Leading voices in Europe say another European should head the International Monetary Fund (IMF) following the resignation of Dominique Strauss-Kahn.<\/p>\n

Germany’s Angela Merkel and European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso’s comments come amid debate over whether the next IMF chief should come from the developing world.<\/p>\n

Ms Merkel said a European was needed in light of the eurozone’s problems.<\/p>\n

Mr Strauss-Kahn is in jail in the US accused of trying to rape a hotel maid.<\/p>\n

He denies the charges and will make a second application for bail later on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Mr Strauss-Kahn had been coming under mounting international pressure to leave his post amid the furore over his arrest.<\/p>\n

In a statement posted on the IMF website<\/a> late on Wednesday, he said he resigned with “infinite sadness”, but wanted to “devote all my strength, all my time, and all my energy to proving my innocence”.<\/p>\n

The IMF said it would release information “in the near future” about appointing a successor.<\/p>\n

The organisation’s deputy, John Lipsky, has been in interim control of the IMF since Mr Strauss-Kahn’s arrest on Saturday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
