How will the new CDU leadership be determined in the federal government?
One possibility is a member survey.
Southwest Secretary General Huber sees this with skepticism.
Stuttgart - The CDU General Secretary Isabell Huber in Baden-Württemberg is very skeptical about a member survey to determine a new party leadership in the federal government.
Huber said in Stuttgart: “Before the next election of the Federal Presidium and the Federal Executive Committee, there must be a broad participation of the members.
There is no getting around it. ”The first steps in this direction have already been taken.
But Huber emphasized: “It is also important to remember the experiences of the CDU Baden-Württemberg.
So we saw with the member survey instrument that this is not a panacea, but can also open rifts further. ”Huber argues that the party chairmanship should be taken over by someone who brings the various camps together.
"It would certainly be desirable if a consensus candidate emerged behind whom the large majority of the party could assemble."
After the historic election debacle of the Union with Chancellor candidate Armin Laschet, the CDU wants to re-elect the entire federal executive committee at a special party conference.
It is unclear whether the party congress will take place in December or in January.

"This is the only way to counteract the alienation that has arisen between the bodies of the federal party and the grassroots," said Ploß on Saturday.
It also has to run in a regulated manner and there should not be a broken dish.

Conditionally probable?
Growing centrifugal forces in the Union
Before the Union's talks with the FDP and the Greens, the CDU seems confused to many.
Fewer and fewer people believe that Armin Laschet can finally save himself to the Chancellery.
And what does Markus Söder do?

Possible applicants for the CDU leadership are above all the economic expert Friedrich Merz, Health Minister Jens Spahn, the foreign politician Norbert Röttgen, Union parliamentary group leader Ralph Brinkhaus and the economic politician Carsten Linnemann.
