Munich (dpa) - CSU boss Markus Söder sees the vote of the CDU leadership for Armin Laschet as the Union's candidate for chancellor as an important signal - but not yet the final decision.
A large majority not only includes the board of directors, but also the parliamentary group and the associations, said Söder on Monday after a switch from the CSU presidium.
And there is at least a need for discussion.
That's why you have to listen to the base.
«How do people see it?
How do people see the respective opportunities? ”Said Söder.
The CDU leadership's vote for Laschet is an important signal that he and the CSU take note of and of course respect.
"But it is not final yet."
There have also been "signals" from many regional associations.
That is why you have to calmly classify all of this again.
"Not 10, 20 or 30 people decide alone, but elections can only be won with the right, broad support and active membership that is ready to fight," said Söder.
“The whole thing has to be widely accepted and made acceptable to everyone.
And not only for the functionaries, but also for the members, for the MPs and also for the supporters and sympathizers in the population. "
Söder said: “Everything else, I think, could lead to divisions if you only do it from above, so to speak.
But you also have to take the movement with you from below. "
Therefore it is right to take the time for it.

“There is a lot to be said for how it can end.
But taking the time to reflect and think again is just wise. "
But the process will not last forever, he stressed.
