Chancellor Merz Holds Private Consultations with CDU Leadership
After 100 days in office, Chancellor Friedrich Merz convened a private meeting with his closest CDU leadership in the Chancellery. The gathering, which took place in the evening, was not focused on a specific agenda item, such as the scheduled video conferences with US President Donald Trump or the controversy surrounding the failed appointment of a judge and the decision to impose a partial export ban on military goods to Israel.
The meeting, scheduled for 9:00 PM, was attended by several key figures within the CDU, including Federal Minister of Education Karin Prien, Minister President of Saxony Michael Kretschmer, Agriculture State Secretary Silvia Breher, and NRW Health Minister Karl-Josef Laumann. However, CDU General Secretary Carsten Linnemann was not mentioned as being present during these meetings.
The discussions during the meeting revolved around the current situation and cooperation within the coalition, as well as public sentiment. It seems that the Chancellor did not discuss these topics during these meetings, as they were not mentioned in the available records.
Following the meeting, Chancellor Merz left the Chancellery after midnight. It is worth noting that this meeting was part of a series of consultations that Merz regularly holds with his deputy party chairs to address internal party issues.
The unrest within the CDU following Merz's unilateral decision on arms deliveries was one such issue that was addressed during a subsequent meeting with the deputy party chiefs at the Chancellery. This meeting was covered in search results, indicating that the specific event in question may not have been included in the initial search results.
In summary, Chancellor Merz held private consultations with his CDU leadership, discussing the current situation and cooperation within the coalition, but not the specific topics of the controversy surrounding the failed appointment of a judge and the decision to impose a partial export ban on military goods to Israel, or the situation and cooperation within the coalition with the SPD, as well as public sentiment. The Chancellor left the Chancellery after midnight, following these meetings.
