CSU deputy leader Manfred Weber has rejected any leadership debate within his party. He stressed that the party wants to work together with Markus Söder.
Manfred Weber made his comments on the ARD program Maischberger. He said there is currently no discussion that calls Markus Söder into question. Weber had previously called for a reorientation of the CSU in a Pentecost letter. In it he indirectly criticized the party leader's communication style and stressed the need for politics focused on the common good. CSU honorary chairman Theo Waigel backed the letter as a wake-up call for the party. Weber also pointed to the losses in the March local elections and the 2028 state election.
