When things get serious in the CDU, everyone ultimately looks to the Minister Presidents. They lead state governments, hold power in the federal states, and thus carry weight within the federal party as well. That makes them kingmakers – and, if need be, king-slayers.
It is precisely with this circle that Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz wants to sit down on Sunday evening. According to Focus, he is consulting with the innermost CDU leadership circle – and the state leaders are at the table.
What the state leaders can decide
According to Focus, the Minister Presidents theoretically have the power to push the Chancellor toward stepping down. But they could just as well give him crucial backing. Both lie in their hands – and that is exactly why so much hangs on this meeting, both for Merz and for the direction of federal policy.
Why Sunday evening matters
The fact that Merz is convening the tightest leadership circle on Sunday evening of all times is no routine appointment. What you can take away: This meeting will help decide whether the CDU focuses on stabilization in the coming weeks or whether a personnel debate is set in motion. Without the Minister Presidents, little is currently happening in the Union.
What ultimately comes out of the meeting remains open. What is clear: the power over Merz's future on this Sunday evening lies above all in the state chancelleries – not in the Federal Chancellery.
