Pressure develops on concerned Christian Democratic Union to accelerate the process to find a new leader following AKK resignation. This could prompt a paralysis inside Angela Merkel’s party that could spread over the EU when Germany assumes the rotating administration of the council of the European Union.

While Germany has been in speculation about who could take the nation’s biggest and most grounded party into the post-Merkel period, the three top contenders have been hesitant to enter the competition.
German media gave an account on Friday that Kramp-Karrenbauer could raise the pace by reporting a timetable, or even her preferred candidate, on 24 February. The CDU’s press office would neither affirm nor dismiss the reports.
Senior German conservatives caution that neglecting the topic of the administration undecided until following the spring break would jeopardize increasing the CDU’s paralysis across the matters of the EU. In July, Germany formally takes control over the task of leading meetings of the board of the EU.
Gunther Krichbaum, the CDU chair of the committee on EU issues in the Bundestag, expressed, “Whether you need it or not, there’s a desire that Germany and France take up a joint administration role.”
