Parity: Merkel encourages women in politics

While the Union wants to reposition itself after the historic election defeat, Chancellor Angela Merkel is campaigning for women in politics. Only men? That no longer fits in with the times.

Chancellor Angela Merkel encourages women to get more involved in politics.

“We must continue to work to ensure that women are more confident about themselves overall. Because even if there are some, it is not the case that they are struggling for party leadership, for example, ”said the CDU politician of the“ Süddeutsche Zeitung ”.

«I can only encourage women to interfere. Men only, that no longer fits in with the times. ” And if you want to be a people’s party, you have to get close to parity and want it.

Union wants to change

The CDU suffered a historic defeat in the federal election at the end of September, in which Merkel did not run again. The party is now striving for a staff and content renewal. A special party conference is to re-elect the entire board.

Party leader Armin Laschet had announced that he would put his own ambitions on hold. Health minister Jens Spahn, economic expert Friedrich Merz, Union parliamentary group leader Ralph Brinkhaus and foreign politician Norbert Röttgen are all candidates for his successor.
