WORLD:
Armin Laschet is the new CDU chairman.
Is that a good choice for the FDP?
Wolfgang Kubicki:
As Prime Minister in North Rhine-Westphalia, Armin Laschet documents that he can work well with the FDP.
In this respect, the CDU has made a sensible choice.
Friedrich Merz would not have been a bad choice either.
With him there could have been a completely different debate.
It would then have been much more about how we can maintain our prosperity and economic performance in the current crisis.
