The Hamburg CDU boss Roland Heintze has warned his party in front of a long intra-party election to the Federal presidency and candidacy. A contest of the candidates “over such a long period of time would be bad for the CDU, said Heintze. Then the party “over 40 per cent need not have to worry” more,” he told the German press Agency. On the other hand, he found it “not bad, if the candidate field changes again”.

the Corona-pandemic delay in the renewal of the party leadership after the withdrawal announcement, Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, was a “Dilemma” for the CDU. “And therefore, all the parties Involved are not after the summer break together, so we can play now until December next candidate for Chancellor rates,” said Heintze. “This is a Situation you can solve, by looking at the field of Applicants again, or a reasonable procedure. But one of the two, we need to do.“

“Söder can also Registrar”

The Hamburg-based PR entrepreneur who wants to give the country the chairmanship at the end of September, in the Bavarian Minister-President a suitable candidate for Chancellor. “Markus Söder can also Registrar. I could imagine,“ he said. But: “If the CDU would have a convincing solution, I’d be charming.” In addition, the CSU must-in-chief yet to explain, yet Söder think in the K-question, Yes, “nonchalantly” back. At the weekend, Söder had said that he would consider the nomination of the Union’s Chancellor candidate in March 2021. “Corona moves all, and leads to the fact that we also need to reconsider all of the timelines,” said Söder on Sunday in the ARD-“summer interview”. First of all, the CDU needed to clarify their internal question of the new party Chairman, then it would be good if the Union take time to consider what would be the best place for them, so Söder.

The candidates who want to compete in search of a new CDU-top – the North Rhine-Westphalian Prime Minister, Armin Laschet, former Bundestag faction leader Friedrich Merz, and the foreign politician Norbert Röttgen, to convince the Hamburg CDU boss Heintze is obviously less, also against the Background of their poor poll numbers. “I don’t think we have yet to see the final Setting, and I think that by December things will happen.”
