Martin Schulz in an interview with broadcaster ARD on Sunday. German Chancellor Angela Merkel is "aloof" and "out of touch", her main challenger Martin Schulz said on Sunday, stepping up his attacks as he seeks to turn around a flagging campaign ahead of next month's general election.

"She is using the infrastructure of the state to fly to her campaign events at a bargain price," Schulz said.
