After the historic election failure for the Union, there is obviously a lot going on in the board meetings of the CDU and CSU. According to several reports, the chairmen Markus Söder (CSU) and Armin Laschet (CDU) are moving away from the “government claim” that was spoken of on the evening of the election – despite the disastrous results for the Union.
Accordingly, Söder now emphasized in a CSU board meeting that the Union after the crash in the federal election could not lay claim to governance. The Union had landed in second place and not one, there was no entitlement to governance – but an offer for talks, said Söder, according to participants. The news agency DPA, the “Münchner Merkur” and the “Welt” reported. Such an offer is made – but it will no “ingratiating at any price” with the Greens and FDP give, he made it clear.
CDU candidate for Chancellor Armin Laschet reportedly contradicted the impression in the CDU presidium meeting that he had formulated a “government claim” on election night. This was initially reported by “Welt” and “Bild”. According to information from the DPA, in consultations with the closest CDU leadership, he underscored his willingness to negotiate a federal government led by him even after the Union crashed in the federal elections. However, he made it clear that no one spoke of a government mandate for the Union on Sunday evening. Only the facts have been described.
In the CSU meeting, clear criticism of the CDU candidate for chancellor is said to have been leveled (see entry from 11:18 a.m.). So said CSU regional group leader Alexander Dobrindt according to the participants, it was with the CDU Weaknesses in course, campaign and in the candidate given. But the tone is also getting rougher in the CDU. Michael Kretschmer, Prime Minister of Saxony, spoke of “wrong decisions in the past”, both “in terms of content, in the government and also in terms of personnel”. He does not see a government mandate for the Union. In view of the heavy losses suffered by the CDU, Federal Economics Minister Peter Altmaier has called for the CDU to be reorganized.
