The North Rhine-Westphalian Prime Minister Armin Laschet would hold on to the previous Secretary General after his election as CDU party chairman.

In an interview with WELT AM SONNTAG, Laschet said: “The Secretary General has been elected for four years.

My competitors have announced that they will be replacing and replacing him.

I think that's wrong. ”Paul Ziemiak is doing an excellent job at a difficult time.

"He and the strong team in the Adenauer-Haus, who are preparing the federal election campaign, should continue."

Laschet did not decide whether the CDU federal party conference could actually take place in January.

“For me, the votes and my own chances do not depend on the timing of the party congress.

I am ready to vote at any time of the day or night. "

When asked whether there will be curfews in the wake of the corona crisis in the near future, which are possible under the reformed Infection Protection Act, Laschet said: "I don't see that at all at the moment." The outcome is not the problem, but the contact.

“There is no risk of infection if you jog alone in the forest.

To breathe fresh air is even important, ”said the CDU politician.

Laschet announced more consistent contact restrictions.
