Berlin (dpa) - Bundestag President Wolfgang Schäuble and Union faction leader Ralph Brinkhaus have spoken out in favor of a quick decision in the power struggle between CDU leader Armin Laschet and CSU leader Markus Söder over the candidacy for chancellor.
According to information from participants, Schäuble again made clear his support for Laschet on Monday evening.
In his position nothing has changed, said Schäuble in the digital deliberations of the CDU board on the K-question of the Union.
The past week was not good, it was damaging.
This was due to the fact that the CDU assumed last week that the CSU would keep its promise, said Schäuble accordingly.
He urged you to make a decision in the current meeting.
Brinkhaus therefore emphasized that no hanging game is needed, but a quick decision.
The Hessian Prime Minister Volker Bouffier also supported Laschet.
According to information from participants, he campaigned for everyone to take on management responsibility.
There has never been such an intense debate about grassroots attitudes.
The work goes on.
It should all be taken, he said accordingly.

During the deliberations, it came to a vote that night.
Laschet had also spoken out in favor of it.
It was eagerly awaited how clear an approval for the CDU chairman as candidate for chancellor would be.
Söder had put the decision in the hands of the sister party on Monday.
The CDU is now making “sovereign” decisions, he said in Munich after a CSU presidium meeting.
"We as the CSU and I also respect every decision."
