The CDU tries to push responsibility for the taboo break in the Bundestag at its party congress, the SPD and the Greens. Friedrich Merz assures that he would not even be tolerated by the AfD.
Friedrich Merz had not yet said a word, but the hall raged as if he had just kept one of the great political speeches of modern times. Around 1,000 delegates rose from her seats at the 37th party conference of the CDU in Berlin on Monday to cheer her boss in a way that was apparently surprising. Again and again he started, he thanked him, he made it clear that he really wanted to say something, but the delegates clapped continued, for minutes it went so, almost had to be feared that no speeches were given at all at this party conference, But that it is simply clapped, always on, hour after hour, until the end. That would have been a statement.
