CSU leader Horst Seehofer left his political destiny in the hands of the CDU: The minister wants to postpone talks with the union party on Monday for the sake of a dispute over migration policy.
Only after that he wants to finally make a decision about his previously extinguished resignation.
According to available data, the party leadership asked him not to resign.
In the discussions of the CSU offices, support for Seehofer was “extremely strong” – said the head of the regional CSU group Alexander Dobrindt
Despite Dobrindt’s unsuccessful attempts to negotiate with German Chancellor Merkel on a compromise in migration policy on Saturday, Dobrindt believes that there is still a possibility of an agreement.
“The results of the summit talks can always change,” he said of the repeated talks scheduled for this Monday.
“This final conversation is the right approach for the extremely difficult situation that exists.”
Seehofer described a new attempt at trying on how to “adapt” him to the party. Dialogue with the CDU was an “intermediate step” that was taken “in the hope that we will be able to discuss the existing problems”
“In the interests of this country and the ability of our coalition and government, which we want to preserve, we want to try to unite in this central issue of refusal,” said Seehofer. These negotiations Minister considers as a concession from him to the Chancellor and the CDU
