Osnabrück. The former CDU general secretary, Polenz, believes that a vote by a member of the CDU to clarify Merkel's succession for formal reasons is unrealistic.
For such a procedure, the status of the CDU should be changed, said Polenz, the "new Osnabrücker newspaper". As a result, a membership decision can only be held in January 2019. "For several candidates, a final election must also be scheduled, because the new president of the CDU should already have at least half of the CDU behind him, "said the political leader of the CDU. He considers two direct elections "not the right way".
Polenz said it was "very important" for candidates to explain their ideas to CDU members at ten or twelve regional conferences over the next five weeks. "It would be a missed opportunity, if only on the morning of the CDU congress in Hamburg," said the former secretary-general of the Christian Democrats.
In addition, Mathias Middelberg, President of the CDU in the Lower Saxony Bundestag, addressed the debate on Merkel's successor at the regional conferences. "These meetings are important to allow candidates to present their positions and to be interviewed by members," said Middelberg, the "NOZ". He was "fundamentally open" to a survey of members. "In terms of time, however, this will hardly be feasible now," said Middelberg, spokesperson for the CDU / CSU parliamentary group on domestic politics. At a federal party congress in early December, the CDU will elect a successor to the current CDU leader, Angela Merkel, who does not want to start again.
