CSU: Merz betont den Zusammenhalt der Unionsparteien
Die CSU will Ilse Aigner als Kandatin für das Bundespräsidentenamt. Der Kanzler beschwört die Zusammenarbeit mit der CSU, beantwortet die P-Frage auf dem Parteitag jedoch nicht.
Munich - Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz, a member of the CDU, urged the CSU Party Congress to emphasize the unity of the two Union parties to remain the strongest political force in Germany. "We will have to fight," he urged the approximately 700 delegates in the Munich exhibition hall. However, in his nearly one-hour speech, he remained silent on whether he supported the CSU's proposal to appoint Bavarian State President Ilse Aigner as Federal President, despite the alleged closeness of the Union sisters.
Upon the CSU chief Markus Söder and Bavarian State President Ilse Aigner's arrival at the CSU Party Congress, Merz personally greeted them and received cheers from the delegates. Aigner, who was seated in the first row, stood up and waved both hands in the Munich exhibition hall. Merz had greeted Aigner, as well as Federal Research Minister Dorothee Bär, with a kiss on both cheeks upon entering the hall.
