Manfred Weber förnekar ledarskapsdebatt om Markus Söder

CSU:s vice ordförande Manfred Weber har avvisat varje form av ledarskapsdebatt inom partiet. Han betonade att partiet vill arbeta tillsammans med Markus Söder.

Manfred Weber kom med uttalandena i ARD-programmet Maischberger. Han sade att det för närvarande inte pågår någon diskussion som ifrågasätter Markus Söder. Weber hade tidigare efterlyst en omorientering av CSU i ett pingstbrev. I det kritiserade han indirekt partiledarens kommunikationsstil och betonade behovet av en politik fokuserad på det allmänna bästa. CSU:s hedersordförande Theo Waigel ställde sig bakom brevet som en väckarklocka för partiet. Weber pekade även på förlusterna i lokalvalen i mars och delstatsvalet 2028.
