reOutgoing CDU president Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer has accused her would-be successors of damaging the party with destructive competition. “During this discussion, the party felt that this fair race had turned into a ruinous competition. And this ruinous competition falls first and foremost with the candidates themselves, but also with the CDU, “he told the” Augsburger Allgemeine “on Saturday.” That is why I always warned. “
The applicants are the Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, Armin Laschet, the economic politician Friedrich Merz and the foreign politician Norbert Röttgen. In the fight to postpone the next party congress, Merz in particular had fought an open dispute with Laschet, with some personal attacks. Kramp-Karrenbauer again called the three to serve the party even in the event of defeat. “That is the clear expectation of the members. We are already in the electoral year in January ”, he said.
Kramp-Karrenbauer also warned against a too retrograde campaign: “The CDU has developed quite strongly in recent years and decades. Today is a different party than 10 or 20 years ago, also because today we have a different society.” It must “give answers to the questions of 2021 and not those of the 80”.
