In front of the deputies the claimants of the anointing of the Christian Union – How the “camps” are formed

With the participation of the two candidates for the anointing, Armin Lasset and Marcus Zender, in tonight’s meeting of the Parliamentary Group of the Christian Union (CDU / CSU), The “battle” officially begins for the nomination of the candidate, who will undertake to lead the parties of the center-right in the first elections after the “Merkel era”.

As reported by AMPE, on Monday, the leader of the Christian Democratic Party (CDU) Armin Lasset received the support of his party presidency, while later in the evening the same happened with the presidency of the Christian Social Union (CSU), which expressed its full support for the leader Markus Zender. But even before the official announcement of the two nominations for the anointing, Christian Union officials rushed to side with one side or the other.

Mr. Lassett seems to rely mainly on the old guard of the faction, but also on party mechanisms. He has so far been favored by Federal Parliament Speaker Wolfgang Schieble, who believes the chancellor can only come from the Union’s “big” party, the CDU, as well as Hesse Prime Minister Volker Buffier. Support for Armin Lasset has long been expressed by Health Minister Jens Span, who even “came down” at the recent party congress as a “team” with him. However, his opponent in the Congress and a big “loser”, Friedrich Mertz, also supported the candidacy of the CDU leader. In addition, local organizations in Schleswig-Holstein, Lower Saxony and Baden-Württemberg have sided with Mr. Lassett.

Marcus Zeder, on the other hand, relies more on the “air” that his candidacy has gained in public opinion, with polls that wanted him to be overwhelmingly ahead before even announcing his intention to claim the anointing. This climate seems to affect, as is logical, many members of the Christian Democrats. In addition to his party, the Bavarian prime minister may be relying on the support of CDU Christian Democrats’s Christian Democrats, who are seeking the involvement of lawmakers in the election, which Armin denies. Laser. In addition, the first local CDU organization in favor of Mr. Zender was that of Berlin, to be followed by the Thuringian organization.

The final decision on who will run for chancellor on behalf of the Christian Union in the September 26 elections is expected by the end of the week.
