But it‘s not all about continuity, and friends and trade partners of this rich and powerful nation will be watching closely.
Jetzt ist es offiziell: Kanzleramtschef Helge Braun will Vorsitzender der CDU werden. Für Friedrich Merz, den Liebling der Basis, ist das ein Geschenk. Sein Kontrahent gehört zum alten Establishment und ist mitverantwortlich für dessen Fehlschläge
Kurz bezeichnete die Vorwürfe gegen ihn neuerlich als falsch. Er werde die Aufhebung der Immunität selbst beantragen, heißt es vom ÖVP-Klub zum STANDARD.
Die türkis-grüne Regierung macht nach dem Rücktritt von Kurz also weiter. Vizekanzler Werner Kogler (Grüne) kündigte an, dass die Zusammenarbeit mit Schallenberg an der Regierungsspitze fortgesetzt werden könne.
Im Verlauf des Samstags dürfte dann Kurz und den ÖVP-Entscheidungsträgern einiges klar geworden sein: Die Grünen meinen es ernst. Der Kanzler wird am Dienstag abgewählt.

Described by party colleagues as a diligent bridge builder who favors behind-the-scenes compromise to political gamesmanship, Laschet’s style and demeanor are reminiscent of Merkel’s and he is often compared to her. Like the chancellor, Laschet is a political moderate and he has been a loyal supporter of her policies on refugees, Europe and foreign affairs.
