LEIPZIG, Germany - Less than 24 hours after Angela Merkel’s protegee won a statement of support from her party, Bavarian conservative leader Markus Soeder gave a barnstorming speech to the Christian Democrats that reignited debate over who should be the next conservative chancellor candidate.
Urging the CDU and CSU to show unity, he took aim at the smaller parties that have eroded support for their alliance - the ‘Union’ - and fractured the political landscape. Soeder, whose state is home to BMW and Volkswagen luxury brand Audi, said he supported electric cars. “But the car is not the enemy in Germany. Some people think an SUV is worse than a nuclear power station!” he said, to roars of laughter.
But “AKK” has made several gaffes since taking over as CDU leader last December that have dented her popularity and raised questions about her suitability to be the next chancellor.
