Three weeks before the state party conference, CDU regional leader Thomas Strobl came under heavy criticism from the Union in southern Baden.
At the district party convention in Donaueschingen on Saturday, a group of around 25 delegates submitted a motion that the CDU in southern Baden should ask Strobl not to run for chairman.
The motion was not voted on.
Donaueschingen - Instead, it was agreed as a compromise that the district executive board, headed by MEP Andreas Schwab, should talk to Strobl about a withdrawal.
Schwab told the German Press Agency: “Of course our members think about our top staff and these thoughts are justified.
However, we in the CDU do not talk about each other in public, but trust each other about personal issues and we will continue to do so. ”That is why the application was not accepted.
Because of the heavy losses in the state and federal elections, there are also calls for new faces at the head of the state party in the Southwest CDU.
Strobl has headed the Southwest CDU for ten years and is also interior minister and vice head of government in the green-black coalition.
The 61-year-old said in Donaueschingen that he had already advanced the renewal after the state elections.
The new CDU parliamentary group leader Manuel Hagel (33) is the youngest in Germany and with Isabell Huber (34) a young woman has become general secretary.
