The German CDU politician Friedrich Merz will in the future be more involved in the party work, but one of him brought into conversation ministerial post is not planned. A CDU spokeswoman confirmed today a corresponding report of the „world“, according to which this is the result of several phone calls between party leader Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer and Merz. Merz was inferior to Kramp-Karrenbauer in the election to the CDU party chairmanship in December.
Merz should participate in the commission for social market economy, a group of experts from economics and science, and accompany the topic „transatlantic relations at a leading position“, reports the „world“. In addition, Merz will be involved in the process of drawing up the new policy of the CDU. Merz wants to make his plans public tomorrow.
Above all, the economic wing and conservative politicians in the CDU had demanded after the federal party convention of the CDU that Merz must be involved after the narrow defeat at a leading position in the party work. There were even demands to get him into the cabinet. Kramp-Karrenbauer had repeatedly expressed the wish that Merz would continue to work in the party.
