CDU Backs Laschet, But Soeder May Seek Parliamentary Support

GERMANY

Wires and social media reporting that the leadership of the centre-right Christian Democratic Union has backed their own leader, Armin Laschet, to be chancellor candidate for the 'Union parties' in the September federal election.

  • Focus now turns to Markus Soeder, head of the CDU's Bavarian sister party, the CSU (see 1005BST bullet).
  • CDU supporting Laschet not a major surprise, with observers stating the larger national CDU would not want to be 'humiliated' by selecting the smaller CSU's candidate.
  • Soeder could seek to rally support in the Bundestag for his candidacy, but the backing of the CDU for Laschet undoubtedly comes as a blow to his chances.
