Düsseldorf (dpa) - North Rhine-Westphalia Interior Minister Herbert Reul (CDU) has spoken out in favor of Prime Minister and CDU boss Armin Laschet as candidate for chancellor - without expressly naming his name.
«Helmut Kohl and Angela Merkel were not survey heroes, but in the end the election winners.
Why should we change our strategy? ”Reul told the German press agency on Sunday.
«We need a candidate from the center with a political concept with which we can be successful for Germany.
In the past, the Union has never allowed itself to be guided by surveys of its successful candidates for chancellor, »said Reul.
The interior minister is also chairman of the CDU district of Bergisches Land.
On Sunday, an Infratest dimap survey on behalf of the WDR magazine “Westpol” confirmed Laschet's devastating values: According to this, only 24 percent of those surveyed in North Rhine-Westphalia considered the Prime Minister to be a good candidate for Chancellor.
49 percent said that about Bayern Markus Söder.
