Self-confident despite being an outsider: Norbert Röttgen sees himself in a good position in the race for the position of head of the CDU. “I think we have now reached a situation where we are at eye level, where everyone can be voted on,” Röttgen was quoted as saying by the “Rheinischer Post” in the “Ständehaus Treff” newspaper in Düsseldorf.
In the talk format in front of around 500 guests, due to Corona not at the Ständehaus of the same name, but at the Düsseldorf stadium, Röttgen said that equal opportunities with Armin Laschet and Friedrich Merz was the change that had occurred. in the three to four weeks after the summer break. When asked by editor-in-chief Moritz Döbler who he would vote for on the second ballot, Röttgen simply said, “I am concentrating on moving to the second ballot.”
On the subject of the chancellery, Röttgen said, according to the “Rheinischer Post”: “I first run for the presidency of the CDU.” That is an important task in its own right. Röttgen emphasized that he did not run for this position to achieve the other. At the same time, it is part of the CDU president’s claim to trust himself to be chancellor or to want to be, Röttgen said. He came to the assessment: “I trust myself.”
