CSU-Parteitag: Söder wirbt für Aigner als Bundespräsidentin
Gut drei Monate vor der Bundespräsidentenwahl gibt es weiterhin keinen Kandidaten. Markus Söder macht sich für Ilse Aigner stark, der Parteitag jubelt. Aigner selbst betont: Entschieden wird woanders.
At the CSU Party Congress, Bavarian Landtag President Ilse Aigner expressed her delight over the substantial support her party has given her potential candidacy for the office of the German Federal President. However, she clarified that she would not interfere: "The party congress will not decide this matter. That is up to the party leaders."
Earlier, CSU leader Markus Söder reiterated his endorsement of Aigner as the next Federal President during his party congress address. The announcement was met with enthusiastic applause. Aigner, who sat in the front row during Söder's speech, rose to greet the delegates. Söder subsequently mentioned he would repeat the endorsement at the party congress on Saturday if Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) attends.
