Dresden (dpa) - The East Commissioner of the Federal Government and Saxon CDU member of the Bundestag Marco Wanderwitz has spoken out in favor of Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) as a candidate for Chancellor.
The popularity ratings of CDU Bundescheffer Armin Laschet are far behind those of Söder, said the Chemnitz member of the Dresden newspaper “Sächsische Zeitung” (Friday edition): “You simply have to take note of that and then act accordingly.”
The approval for Söder is sustainable - in Bavaria and beyond.
"If a good program and a popular candidate come together in elections, that is always helpful."
Wanderwitz (45) also commented on a current survey result, according to which the Saxon AfD is in front of the CDU in the Free State for the first time since summer 2019: “The state is that coalitions governed in all the new federal states in which the AfD does not participate is.
That has little to do with a leadership position.
In addition, there is not a single state election where the AfD has become the strongest political force. "
He accused the AfD of being a right-wing radical party: "At the AfD, it is precisely the heads from the East who speak out for the permanent radicalization of the party."
