Original caption: Raschelt was elected chairman of the German ruling party, German media: To become German Chancellor, three barriers still have to be “broken”
[环球时报记者青木]The ruling Christian Democratic Union in Germany held elections for its president on the 16th. The governor of North Rhine-Westphalia, Amin Raschelt, was elected president in the second round of voting. By convention, the new chairman of the CDU party has a high probability of becoming a candidate for German chancellor or even the next chancellor. However, some German media analyzed that Raschelt needs to “break down three barriers” if he wants to succeed Merkel as German Chancellor.
According to a report from the German News Agency on the 16th, the CDU National Party Congress will be held online on the 15th and 16th. The most important agenda is the election of a new party president. The candidates are Raschett and the former chairman of the Union party parliamentary group, Friedrich. Shey Mertz and the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Bundestag Norbert Rutgen. Raschelt and Mertz obtained 521 and 466 votes respectively in the second round of voting, and Raschelt was eventually elected party president.
According to a German television channel, Raschette was born in 1961 in Aachen, a border town in North Rhine-Westphalia bordering the Netherlands and Belgium. Before entering politics, he was a journalist. He was a member of the European Parliament and a member of the German Bundestag. In 2017, he became governor of North Rhine-Westphalia. As governor, Raschelt has earned praise for his heavy-handed measures against some gangs, and his government has also enabled the CDU to gain a high degree of recognition in North Rhine-Westphalia. The German media commented on it as “the golden mean.”
According to the report, Merkel, who resigned as CDU president two years ago, immediately sent congratulations to Raschelt via Twitter, expressing her expectation for his cooperation. German media generally believe that as Merkel’s loyal ally, the party presidency is the most ideal outcome for Merkel, who is expected to continue Merkel’s “middle line” to a large extent. The “Voice of Deutsche Welle” declared on the 16th that Raschelt advocated “keeping calm and avoiding going to extremes”, calling this a political stance of “facing the people and not betraying the people.” He also insisted on social solidarity and the social market economy.
According to the “Voice of Germany”, although Raschelt still has few opportunities to act in the diplomatic field, he is a strong defender of the European and cross-border orientation in the CDU party.AtlanticThe faction with the main line of relations: advocates strengthening cooperation with the United States to address climate change and trade policies; at the same time, it also supports the strengthening of the unified action of the European Union and supports the strengthening of coordination and cooperation with France. Lachette has close ties to French politics and often visits Paris.
On the subject of Russia, Rashet was once called “Russian.” The European version of the US Political News Network explained that the nickname refers to those who take a moderate stance towards Russia. Rashet said in 2019 that even when the Soviet Union existed, there was the possibility of dialogue between East and West. “We must do the same today. We need Russia on many issues.”
The “Voice of Deutsche Welle” believes that Raschelt is the most pragmatic of the three candidates in terms of policy towards China. North Rhine-Westphalia, under his leadership, has 3 pairs of sister provinces and states and more than 20 pairs of sister cities with China. The state has brought together more than 1,100 Chinese-funded companies such as Huawei and Xiaomi. More than 30,000 Chinese live in North Rhine-Westphalia, including nearly 10,000 German students. However, in recent interviews with outlets such as the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, he constantly mentioned China’s “systems competition”.
In the tradition of the CDU, the party president is usually the party’s prime minister candidate. In September this year, Germany will hold elections for the Bundestag. Under the current trend, the CDU will maintain its position as the largest party in parliament in elections, and Raschelt is likely to succeed Merkel and become the new Chancellor of Germany. The German weekly “Der Spiegel” analyzed on the 17th that Laschette still had to “break three barriers” before becoming the new chancellor of Germany.
Der Spiegel believes that the first challenge comes from within the CDU party. During the new corona pneumonia epidemic, due to Germany’s control of the epidemic in the first wave of crisis, the image of Health Minister Jens Spann has increased enormously and he has become a popular candidate for the next prime Minister. Furthermore, Span also has an age advantage, 19 years younger than Raschelt.
The second challenge comes from the CDU’s “sister” Christian Social Alliance. In the election, both the CDU and the CSU will nominate a candidate for prime minister. The president of the CDU and the governor of Bavaria Marcus Zeder can become candidates for the CSU. Although the CSU has never been elected prime minister, Zeder is currently popular in the party and, because he supports Merkel’s anti-epidemic policy, the outside world regards him as a stable leader during the epidemic. The third challenge comes from other parties outside the ruling coalition. German television RTL said the most threatening party is the Green Party, which can turn into a dark horse with the help of the new corona pneumonia epidemic and its attention to climate change.
