ARD daily topic commentary on the CDU: "The Chancellor failed with a crash with ..."
Then she swings back and forth: “The Chancellor failed with an attempt to hand over the order. The party leader has completely lost control and hides it with attacks on the coalition partner SPD . "
The journalist is alluding to the dispute surrounding the succession of Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer * as party leader and her recent attacks on the Social Democrats. There are also "no answers and no strategic center of power" to find many other party-political questions - dealing with the parties on the far right and on the far left in the spectrum, for example.

Therefore, according to the urgent appeal of the ARD journalist, "it would be good if the chaos days in the CDU would hopefully come to an end soon."
Hassel warns those who succumb to the K question that they must "join the team or remain silent forever", but at the same time see the danger of a "battle vote that can tear the party apart".
