CDU boss Armin Laschet has praised the support of the Junge Union in the election campaign.
"He was always a group, it was always there, it always fought, that was the Junge Union," said Laschet at the Junge Union (JU) Germany Day in Münster on Saturday.
The JU originally spoke out in favor of CSU boss Markus Söder as candidate for Union chancellor.
Münster - Even in the case of personal attacks against him, the JU held that he had felt a lot of cover during the difficult time.
Union Chancellor candidate Laschet had announced after the all-time low of only 24.1 percent for the CDU / CSU in the federal election that they would put their own ambitions on hold in the future.
JU boss Tilman Kuban praised the fact that Laschet is facing the discussion among the Union's offspring.
CSU boss Söder had canceled his participation.
Laschet emphasized: "A CDU chairman must be with the Junge Union." Dpa
