follow anyone Who manages to conquer the CDU presidency, is one of the most powerful people in the country. Financially, the presidency was, however, unattractive because he is traditionally a volunteer. Angela Merkel, Wolfgang Schäuble, Helmut Kohl, and their predecessors were able to live with that. They had all of them in addition to the CDU-chair at least one office or mandate, which gave them a good Livelihood. Not as Annegret Kramp-karrenbauer. The new CDU-Chairman is President of the national education Association and an auditor of the local Chapter of köller valley of the Federal nature conservation, both of which are honorary offices.

the CDU presidency can therefore remain no unpaid Job, was with the choice Kramp cart Builder at the beginning of December clear. But the new Boss did not want to address the issue of long – nobody should get the impression that your content could be more important than the departure of the party. In the case of the closed meeting of the CDU Federal Executive Board in mid-January, it was said, about the amount of salary for Kramp-Karrenbauer has not been decided still, provisionally, the new party boss, is paid your previous General Secretary salary. If the Chairman’s salary is clear is that this will settle everything.

That was more than a month ago. Who asks now, as the thing is assumed, gets from the CDU, only vague information. Meanwhile, the height of the content fixed, it says. But who has decided about it, and how high it is now, that is not to say the party. Too great was the worry that someone could be the amount of salary against Kramp-Karrenbauer exploit.

Kramp-Karrenbauer had both on the transition of money as well as on the pension

The caution is surprising, because the Chairman has not so far been noticed by the extravagant claims for it. She has not shown quite the contrary, again and again, that money is your major driving force. At the beginning of 2018 Kramp-Karrenbauer has placed their well-paid Offices, as Saarland’s Minister-President and a member of the Landtag, to go as CDU Secretary-General to Berlin. And not only that. She has omitted on the transition of money. According to the Saarland government Kramp-karrenbauer would have had otherwise, two years is entitled to a Transitional allowance for the first three months, “the ofcial salary and the cost-of-living in full” and for the Rest of the time on “half of these references”. Also your claim to a retirement pension has abandoned Kramp-Karrenbauer, initially for two years. If you would be laying in the rings of the CDU presidency, she would have resigned as General Secretary and had no income.

But a lot of the CDU-Chairman now? The party declares on demand only: “The contract, the party with Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer in her function as Secretary General had been completed, continue to run, as long as it is a full-time party Chairman of the CDU. Any pension entitlements from previous activities will be charged.”

to determine how much Kramp-Karrenbauer as CDU leader deserves, you have to know how much will be paid to a Secretary-General. But also don’t want to tell the CDU. However, since both the current Secretary-General Paul Ziemiak as well as the predecessor, Peter Tauber, Hermann Gröhe, as members indicate their secondary activities had to, at least the order of magnitude is known. The three men reported income from its activities as a General Secretary in the “level 3”, which corresponds to 7001 to 15 000 euros per month. According to reports, the salary will be between 8000 and 9000 euros.

Kramp-Karrenbauer sits in contrast to Ziemiak, Tauber and Gröhe but in the Bundestag, and refers, therefore, not diets. Members ‘ remuneration is currently 9780 Euro. It is therefore assumed that Kramp-Karrenbauer to compensate for the – as Secretary General at a significantly higher salary as the three men. And that it therefore deserves now as a party leader, considerably more than the 8000 to 9000 euros.
