For the Union faction leader Ralph Brinkhaus is the new CDU-Chairman, Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, the first candidate for the next Chancellor candidate, however, he sees no automatism. “It is absolutely clear that it has the first access,” said the Christian Democrat, the news magazine “Focus”. “Who is going to apply from the CDU in fact, for the Chancellery, but depends on Momentum, if the candidacy is pending.”
Kramp-Karrenbauer had set itself as the successor of Angela Merkel of the CDU leadership at the party Congress at the beginning of December, almost against Ex-Union parliamentary leader Friedrich Merz. Merz had been supported by President of the Bundestag Wolfgang Schäuble. In the latest edition of the “star” had Schäuble in connection with the candidacy for Chancellor criticized the term “right of access” and said: “You will agree from time to time.” This was understood as a further tip against Kramp-karrenbauer.
In the case of the sister party, the CSU, it insists on the right to be consulted. “Ms. Kramp-Karrenbauer has your experience as a Minister-President are all of the prerequisites, later, Chancellor. But nothing is decided yet, it would be too early,” said the Bavarian Landtag parliamentary leader Thomas Kreuzer, the “image”-newspaper. “Especially if there is to be a joint Union candidate for Chancellor, which of course all go out, must be discussed in due time with the CSU. An automatism is of importance.“ Ultimately, the bodies of both parties would have to decide.
