The former Union parliamentary group leader Friedrich Merz has accused CSU leader Markus Söder of seriously damaging the Union with his taunts against Chancellor candidate Armin Laschet. “I stand by this decision and still consider it to be the right one,” he said, referring to his support for Laschet at a CDU event in Sundern.
“You can see it differently,” said Merz. “But that’s precisely why I – and others too – expect Markus Söder to stop now and that he also wants to win the election together with us and that he fights,” said Merz, looking at requests to speak from CDU members to Söder, whom they accused of sabotaging the Union election campaign in Laschet.
“I told him that too,” said Merz, referring to his criticism of Söder. In addition, Merz emphasized that in his speech at the Union’s election campaign last Saturday in Berlin’s Tempodrom, Söder “could have done without some remarks” I get told and that the company will soon be better.
In addition, Merz announced that the pressurized chancellor candidate Laschet would no longer present a team or shadow cabinet. “Armin Laschet decided not to introduce a team. There won’t be a team or a squad around him. Rather, there will only be individual appearances with individual MPs, applicants and individual ministers or prime ministers on individual topics. “
Merz is running for the Bundestag in the Hochsauerlandkreis and is being acted as the future Federal Minister. Merz demanded from Laschet that you now have to “increase significantly”. He is the captain. “And now he has to show how the strategy works, he has to show how the tactics work and, above all, he has to show how the goals are scored.”
