The environmental activist Luisa Neubauer from the climate protection movement Fridays for Future gives the new CDU leader Armin Laschet a modest testimony and expects him to quickly provide concrete concepts for the fight against the climate crisis.
“Mr. Laschet's climate policy balance sheet is sobering, his lack of strategy obvious.
Going on like this does not work out in the climate crisis, ”said Neubauer.
In view of the accelerated global warming, the challenges should not be glorified as a “modernization project”.
"Like the other decision-makers, Laschet has to recognize that he must act now to prevent crises of entirely new dimensions in the medium term."
Neubauer warned that the eight months leading up to the federal election should "not be drowned in playful colors", that there was too much to do.
"Last but not least, there is still the question of how a climate-friendly coping with Corona can look like - and who initiates it." Fridays For Future will not only put pressure on Laschet until the "climate election" in September - meaning the federal election but on all parties.
The former parliamentary group leader Friedrich Merz, who was again defeated in the race for the CDU chairmanship, should be closely involved by the new party leader Armin Laschet from the point of view of CSU leader Markus Söder.
In principle, he would like Merz to “stay on the team”, said the Bavarian Prime Minister on Saturday evening in the ZDF “heute journal”.
As someone who has lost a chairman election twice, but only barely, Merz is one of them, said Söder.

Regarding Merz's surprising proposal to become Federal Minister of Economics instead of Peter Altmaier (CDU), Söder said that everyone agreed “that we don't need any change”.
