Steffen Bilger, who serves as the director of the Union’s parliamentary affairs, stated that there is no basis for discussing potential personnel changes within the Union. According to Bilger, “The focus for the CDU and CSU remains on the success of this federal government”. He stressed that the coalition should now dedicate itself to addressing urgent issues. This statement comes after media reports circulated suggesting that a scenario involving a “chancellor swap” within the Union had been explored. These rumors stem from the very low approval ratings currently held by Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz of the CDU.
