Munich - SPD chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz is increasingly proving to be the feared nightmare opponent for the CDU and CSU. As soon as the Union bosses Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer and Markus Söder think aloud about the introduction of a general mask requirement in the workplace, Scholz already bursts their test balloon . Please leave that to the companies themselves, depending on the work environment, the Soci (of all people) modest the overzealous Union founders, to the delight of employers. Touché.

Scholz has the feeling for people that his party has been so painfully lacking for years
Scholz has the feeling for people that his party has been so painfully lacking for years. And he uses the power vacuum in the Union, whose tips still want to work doggedly against each other until March. Only then, according to the timetable, should a decision be made on the joint candidate for chancellor . That would be the timetable straight into the abyss.
Of all things, the corona virus could now show the Christian Union on the verge of a nervous breakdown a way out of its dilemma. What if the progression of the pandemic makes a CDU party congress and election of the chairman in December impossible? Then Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer would remain chairwoman for the time being, the aspirants to the throne Armin Laschet and Friedrich Merz would be out of the game without losing face - and the way for Markus Söder to become chancellor would finally be free. Sounds like a good plan through the corona crisis . And all of this without any mask requirement .
