According to the survey, most Germans do not want Armin Laschet to form a government – Topky.sk

This is the result of a representative online survey conducted by the DPA on C andy (Citizen Survey) for the Augsburger Allgemeine on 26 and 27 September, according to the DPA. 71 percent of 5031 respondents consider this to be an unequivocally or rather incorrect attitude, 22 percent of respondents agree with it.

This difference is less pronounced among CDU supporters: 55 percent support Laschet in succeeding Angela Merkel’s chancellor, 32 percent take the opposite view. When asked if Laschet should remain chairman of the CDU, 21 percent of respondents said yes in the Insa poll for Tuesday’s edition of the daily Bild, 51 percent were against and the rest of the respondents chose the answers “I don’t care” or “I don’t know”. A narrow majority of CDU voters (44 percent) are in favor of Laschet remaining CDU chief, up from 40 percent.

43 percent voted for Olaf Scholz

In order for Olaf Scholz, the Social Democrat candidate Olaf Scholz, to be the next chancellor, 43 percent said in the survey, and only 13 percent of the respondents would like Laschet to head of government (38 percent among CDU voters).

Even in the CDU itself, there is growing opposition to Laschet’s strategy to try polling talks with the Greens and the Liberals of the FDP. “Now we should humbly and respectfully accept the will of the electorate. They wanted change.” said Bernd Althusmann, head of the CDU in Lower Saxony. Hessen Prime Minister Volker Bouffier thinks that the CDU is not entitled to form a government. “We lost the election. Dot.” stated the chairman of the CDU youth organization Tilman Kuban, according to which the SPD, the Greens and the FDP have a clear mandate.

Laschet will reportedly resign as provincial prime minister

The head of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), Armin Laschet, allegedly plans to resign as Prime Minister of the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The Handelsblatt reported on Tuesday, referring to participants in Monday’s CDU presidency meeting. Shortly afterwards, however, the local CDU management denied the report, the daily Der Tagesspiegel wrote.

“This report is untrue. We remain with the procedure we agreed on yesterday and with the decision of the committees.” it is stated in the statement of the leaders of the CDU in North Rhine-Westphalia. The economic daily Handelsblatt stated that Laschet should be replaced as the country’s prime minister by the local transport minister Hendrik Wüst. He claims that on Monday evening they agreed that Laschet “will hold (appropriate) talks within the party and faction (CDU in the Bundestag) during this and the following weeks”.

According to Handelsblatt, Laschet himself was present at these talks in Düsseldorf and reportedly supported plans for a rapid change in North Rhine-Westphalia’s leadership, saying he should push through them over the coming weekend.
