FRANKFURT - Germany's CDU's decision to appoint Armin Laschet as its new chief executive on Saturday, is expected to prepare him to replace Angela Merkel as chancellor of the race soon.
Laschet is currently the chief executive officer of the German North Rhine-Westphalia, the nation's busiest state. He beat moderate rival Friedrich Merz 521 to 466 in a vote that was problematic online due to the Covid epidemic.
"I need to do everything I can to stay together at this time ... and then make sure that the next chancellor in government decisions will appear in the (CDU / CSU) association," Laschet said after Saturday's challenge, Reuters Translation.
Continuation of Merkel's preparations
Brought to the world in 1961, he was first elected to the Bundestag (German Parliament) in 1994 and his political decision is seen as a continuation of Merkel's strategy, as she has promised to keep the CDU stable "in the middle of society."
With him as director, the CDU is likely to stay in the message and enlighten it with many environmental reform initiatives and environmental studies. He has a strong Catholic foundation that brings him support in Christian circles within the circle.
He is a self-employed legal counsel and was additionally filled in as a correspondent at the time of the German reunion somewhere between 1986 and 1991. He is considered an extremely liberal and well-known immigrant.
With the opportunity to turn against the CDU's rivals as chancellor of the September resolutions, he could be found in a number of federations - power-sharing is a new tradition in German government affairs.
He has taken the opportunity to have a close management of the opposition, the FDP, with the promise of domination in parts of the business camp within the CDU. In any case, he is also considered to be ready to meet the Greens as well, as it is acceptable to talk about circles and nature.
You are not sure if you will become a chancellor
However, it is possible that the CDU of the chancellor could be resolved in the spring. In addition, it is uncertain whether the newly appointed position will fit into Merkel's career, which has confirmed she will not run for a fifth term in office. Markus Söder, a well-known Bavarian general, and in addition Jens Spahn, a current welfare educator, could also join the race to lead Europe's largest economy.
Merkel took over as head of the CDU in 2018, and in her place Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer left in February 2020 after a series of letter-making tragedies made her realize she was too weak to think of leading officials.
In a test letter on Saturday, Holger Schmieding, a key market analyst at Berenberg, said Laschet was currently in the process of replacing Merkel as chancellor in the fall.
"However, in the event that the CDU does not shine in the state's decisions on March 14, the well-known Markus Söder (CSU) could become a CDU / CSU Councilor," he said.
