The Union and its candidate for Chancellor Armin Laschet are under pressure in the face of poor poll numbers. Now a so-called future team is supposed to help. A first name was already known.
Union Chancellor candidate Armin Laschet (CDU) will present a so-called “future team” this Friday morning. The CDU invited to an appropriate date.
According to the “Spiegel”, which first reported on the date, the members are to appear more publicly in the last weeks of the election campaign. According to the report, there should be a team of eight.
The team should include terrorism expert Peter Neumann, as a dpa spokesman confirmed. He should be responsible for the topic of networking internal and external security. First the “Bild” newspaper reported on it. Neumann is director of the International Center for the Study of Radicalization at King’s College London and is considered an expert on Islamist terror. At first it was not known who was part of the team besides him.
A few days ago, Health Minister Jens Spahn called for more to rely on the team behind Laschet. “We have good people who also make up the Union as a team,” said Spahn on the television broadcaster Bild. «Whoever chooses CDU and CSU gets (Friedrich) Merz and (Markus) Söder, also Spahn and (Annegret) Kramp-Karrenbauer, also (Carsten) Linnemann and (Karl-Josef) Laumann and also (Dorothee) Bär and (Nadine ) Fine, said Spahn. It is the strength of CDU boss Laschet, “to be able to put together a team, to be able to have strong minds even in the cabinet in the closest team”.
Last Monday, Laschet had for the first time linked a central election campaign issue specifically with heads. Four weeks before the federal election, the CDU chairman had the two members of the Bundestag, Andreas Jung and Thomas Heilmann, as well as the young politician Wiebke Winter explain details of an energy paper.
Laschet and the Union are under great pressure. In current surveys, the SPD has overtaken the CDU and CSU with top candidate Olaf Scholz.
