Germany’s ruling conservative Christian Democrats (CDU) will choose their new party leader on Saturday. Whoever of the three candidates wins has the best chance of becoming Germany’s next chancellor – and thus one of the most powerful politician in Europe. EURACTIV Germany reports.
The contenders are: MP and foreign policy expert Norbert Röttgen, former parliamentary group leader Friedrich Merz, and North Rhine-Westphalian leader Armin Laschet.
Politically, they differ mostly in their vision of what it means to be conservative in today’s world, and neither of the three has presented concrete stances on European policy.
Even though the CDU leader traditionally becomes a candidate for chancellor, it is not guaranteed that one of these three will replace Angela Merkel. Röttgen, in particular, has emphasised that he would not necessarily insist on a chancellor candidacy.
