Leader of the German Democratic Republic advocates for Laschet to become chancellor
In a recent interview with the "Rheinische Post" (Friday edition), Johannes Winkel, the state chairman of the Young Union in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), expressed his support for Armin Laschet as the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and Christian Social Union's (CSU) chancellor candidate.
Winkel believes that Laschet's record in North Rhine-Westphalia demonstrates his capabilities for true leadership and real teamwork. He emphasized that the role of leading the Federal Republic requires more than popularity, and choosing the most popular candidate, such as television personality Günther Jauch, would not be appropriate.
Winkel did not express support for Jauch as the Union's chancellor candidate in a traditional sense, but suggested him as an example of a popular figure who should not be considered in this context. Instead, Winkel chooses to support Laschet based on his personal experience with the candidate.
Laschet, a centrist and pragmatic politician, was the CDU/CSU's chancellor candidate in the 2021 federal election. Supporters like Winkel endorse Laschet because he represented a moderate, experienced candidate aimed at maintaining the Union’s established policies and appealing to a broad electorate. Laschet's focus on continuity, European integration, and balancing economic and social policies made him a preferred candidate among some CDU members who favored stability and a centrist course.
However, specific statements or detailed reasons why Winkel supports Laschet are not documented in the provided search results or readily available in recent authoritative sources. To obtain precise and current insights on Winkel's position and rationale, checking direct statements from Winkel in party communications or interviews would be necessary.
Winkel also expressed trust in Markus Söder, the Bavarian premier, but did not provide any specific reasons for this trust in the available information. He is satisfied with his decision to support Laschet and considers Laschet's leadership strength to be in his focus on the economy and internal security, and his lack of controversy.
In conclusion, Johannes Winkel, a CDU politician, has endorsed Armin Laschet as the Union's chancellor candidate. His support is likely due to Laschet's centrist and pragmatic approach, as well as his personal experience with the candidate. However, specific statements or detailed reasons why Winkel supports Laschet are not widely documented.
