winners in this in this whole equation i want to come back to that a little bit later a week about first of all tell me do you think. we will see the c.d.u. angle america s party turn sharply to the right now that she s stepping down as party leader i don t really think so because you know you can see that in all elections especially in the states the regional states they have won by those candidates in the middle of the road and if. the conservative party shifts to the right as the sea as you did in bavaria they lose heavily so i think that every take titian in these party knows but they have to keep on staying in the middle and you can see that the new. candidate for the party leadership who is by birth very right to being now tries to go into the middle i mean his he had a press conference on tuesday and he was very very. laid back when it came
but also resolve that and orica hamman told us that the greens are the winners in this in this whole equation i want to come back to that a little bit later on about first of all tell me do you think we will see the c.d.u. angle america s party turned sharply to the right now that she s stepping down as party leader i don t really think so because you know you can see that in all elections especially in the states the regional states they have won by those candidates in the middle of the road and if. the conservative party shifts to the right as the sea is you did varia they lose heavily so i think that every tactician in these party knows that they have to keep on staying in the middle and you can see that the new. candidate for the party leadership who is by birth very right wing now tries to go into the middle i mean his he had a press conference on tuesday and he was very very. laid back when it came
