Who is to blame for the disappointing performance (24.1 percent, -8.8 compared to 2017)?
Chancellor candidate Armin Laschet?
CSU Stichler Markus Söder?
Both are at least criticized within their own party.
This also meets parliamentary group leader Ralph Brinkhaus.
CDU / CSU: Guler criticizes Laschet - "He made a mistake there"
CDU federal board member Serap Güler certified Laschet a decisive mistake in the federal election campaign. "After he became party chairman, he should have made it clear straight away that he was going to be the Union's candidate for chancellor," said Guler to the
Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger
. “But in the hope of being able to come to an agreement with the CSU and thus Markus Söder, the decision was postponed. Armin Laschet made a mistake. ”The relationship between Guler and Laschet is considered good, both come from North Rhine-Westphalia.
Güler also criticized the fact that details from confidential rounds were passed on to the media by parts of her party.
Everyone would complain, but it still happens, so Guler: "The fact that people from the party stabbed details from the first talks with the FDP and the Greens to the press was the biggest mistake after the election." Laschet therefore even wanted a cell phone Introduce a ban on CDU meetings.
The Aachener himself was self-critical.
"I am responsible for the election campaign, the campaign, and nobody else," he said at the Junge Union's "Germany Day" at the weekend.
Laschet, who was also criticized by the young members, earned applause for his self-critical words.
"Germany Day" of the Junge Union
The Germany Day is the highest body of the Young Union of Germany.

CDU / CSU: Althusmann goes to Söder - "He dodged"
Meanwhile, there were equally critical words in the direction of Markus Söder.
The CDU chairman in Lower Saxony, Bernd Althusmann, accused the CSU chief of delaying dealing with the Union's election debacle.
By canceling his appearance at the “Germany Day”, Söder postponed the clarification, Althusmann told the
editorial network Germany
.
Laschet, on the other hand, took full responsibility at the JU Congress, but he was not solely responsible, Althusmann warned.
“The reasons lie in the lack of cohesion and team spirit.
The foundation of a union has been damaged.
The CSU had at least a fair share in this. ”Laschet had faced the JU.
"Markus Söder evaded and so postponed the argument."
Junge Union: “Make yourself honest.
Ask yourself what you've done "
The Junge Union did not save on allegations and attacks against its own people at the weekend. The two general secretaries Paul Ziemiak (CDU) and Markus Blume (CSU) had to put up with allegations about answering questions at Wahl-O-Mat. With a view to Munich, NRW-JU boss Johannes Winkel summed up: “Anyone who follows up like Markus Söder shouldn't talk about questions of style, but go to confession.” But parliamentary group leader Ralph Brinkhaus was also approached sharply. He had described the traffic light coalition as a danger to the Bundeswehr.
“We are so bold as to blame our own political failure on our political opponents!
(...) Make yourself honest! ”

The CDU was "not in a position to equip and reform the Bundeswehr in 16 years," said JU member Hagen Blöcher.
"But when it gets hot, when an airport has to be secured in Kabul, then we are still so bold as to blame our own political failure on our political opponents."
In the direction of Brinkhaus, Blöcher said: “Make yourself honest.
Ask yourself what you've done. ”No question about it, the situation in the Union is serious.
Several recent surveys saw the CDU / CSU at less than 20 percent.
