Federal election 2021: Laschet and Söder are calling for resignation
First report from Monday, 09/27/2021, 10.30 a.m .:
Berlin - For Armin Laschet and Markus Söder, things will be sticky in these hours.
The historic bankruptcy of the Union in the federal election in 2021 has left its mark.
After the clear losses of the CDU and CSU, the Union of Values is now calling for nothing less than the resignation of the two party leaders.
On Monday night, the union of ultra-conservative members of the Union spoke of extensive personnel changes that were necessary in the Union and: “The board and party leaders of the CDU and CSU must draw the conclusions from the election debacle in the federal elections on September 26, 2021, and with immediate effect step back. “What was meant was Laschet and Söder.
After the federal election: Values Union calls for Laschet and Söder to resign
What is more, the values union even demanded that the board members should be re-elected not only by delegates, but by all union members.
After all, during the 16-year chancellorship of Angela Merkel *, the Union "took a fatal course to the left".
Now, for the first time in a long time, one is no longer the strongest force.
It also said: "The federal executive has supported this course and shared responsibility for the current election debacle."

In addition, the Values Union called for a government to be formed without the Greens, should coalition negotiations take place after the federal election *.
The Union of Values is not an official party division, but sees itself as a representative of the conservative current in the Union.
Federal election 2021: Criticism hail after election debacle at the Union: Kretschmer and Spahn rant
There were also critical tones from Michael Kretschmer (CDU), Prime Minister in Saxony.
He titled the election result as an "earthquake", one had shown a "very clear change in mood against the CDU", he ranted on Monday morning at "MDR Saxony".
Therefore, he does not understand how one can currently speak of a government mandate: "I believe that this is the wrong attitude to deal with such an election result." This line is not sustainable.
Health Minister Jens Spahn * (CDU) also formulated critical tones after the election debacle and called for a generation change.
"We will have to work through this result," he emphasized to the news magazine Spiegel.
