Four weeks before the federal election, Chancellor candidate Armin Laschet is confronted with increasingly poor poll results, which is causing unrest in the Union.
The Saarland Prime Minister Tobias Hans (CDU) has now asked Laschet to present a team of possible ministers.
"We must finally show what the Union stands for and with whom we want to shape the future of the country in addition to the candidate for chancellor," said Hans of the "Rheinische Post".
In today's ministerial ranks and at the top of the Bundestag faction, there are "many capable minds" who are trusted to be responsible for the country.
»I am a fan of saying who is on a team and who is responsible for which topics before the election.
I am sure that this will be initiated now. "
In the latest survey by the opinion research institute Civey for SPIEGEL, the SPD and candidate for chancellor Olaf Scholz are now on a par with the Union (read more here).
CDU general secretary Paul Ziemiak ruled out an exchange of the candidate for chancellor and supported Laschet.
»The candidate question has long been decided and we are now fighting together for our country so that it goes in the right direction.
With Armin Laschet at the top and together with the CSU.
We want to win together, ”said Ziemiak of the“ Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung ”.
Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder said a few days ago that he was not available as a candidate for chancellor (read more here).
However, according to a SPIEGEL poll, the majority of the CDU and CSU voters are in favor of changing candidates.
The CSU boss sees the responsibility for the bad poll results of the Union especially with the CDU.
"The responsibility for the surveys does not lie in Bavaria," said the Bavarian Prime Minister of the "Passauer Neue Presse" and the "Donaukurier".
He would “honestly wish” that more campaigns for Union Chancellor Laschet would also be in the CDU.
"We are fighting against this in Bavaria for the Union and have been campaigning for more commitment and commitment for weeks."
