Bundespräsident: Udo di Fabio als Steinmeier-Nachfolger? – Wer außer ihm im Rennen ist

Bundespräsident: Udo di Fabio als Steinmeier-Nachfolger? – Wer außer ihm im Rennen ist

Bundespräsident Udo di Fabio is reportedly being considered as the successor to outgoing Chancellor Frank-Walter Steinmeier, according to CDU sources. Di Fabio, a 72-year-old former constitutional judge, enjoys the trust and support of the CDU/CSU party. His nomination could serve as a counterbalance to the growing influence of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, according to "Table" magazine.

However, the SPD is not in favor of a man at the top of the government, stating that "A woman in the highest office is long overdue." The last five Presidents of the Federal Republic have all been men.
