LEIPZIG, Germany - Chancellor Angela Merkel’s would-be successor, Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, urged delegates from her Christian Democratic Union to back her vision for Germany at their party congress on Friday or else “let’s end it here and now”.
“If you are of the view that the Germany I want is not the Germany you imagine, if you are of the view that the way I want to go with you is not the way you think is the right one, then let’s speak today and let’s end it today, here, now,” Kramp-Karrenbauer said to gasps from delegates, astonished that she gambled on putting her fate in their hands so immediately.
Merkel, in power since 2005, has said she will not seek re-election at the next national election, due in 2021, and the CDU is trying to boost its image and appeal to hold its position as the leading governing party after she goes. “That could happen, but it doesn’t have to happen,” she said, urging the CDU to back a vision for the future that delivers prosperity “not despite digitalisation but with digitalisation”.
