in the christian democratic union work to oust the left wing prime minister a new poll showing that support for the left parties increased by 7 percentage points the c.d.u. meantime has suffered a significant hit i spoke to soon start for a member of the christian democrats who told us about the challenges now facing his party and how it needs to address them. current combo as she took over after a very huge conflict that we heard in 2 years ago. we have to shape tradition in respect to the old but we never forget her fight when you are forget your historical fight to bring seed your together there is some people there are not too loyal to your party to find out who is going to last one who is not because this is not a game on who saw right there in the past few days there is a lot of people in the world why they are plagued with the fire and this is very dangerous for us so live now to come together to discuss together to find out what we are good where we are where we are going it's very simple is that when i see now that our parties they are keeping likely they are seeking to defend you

democratic union something merican was always insisting on that this division of power being the head of the executive as the chancellor and at the same time the head of the biggest party in the german parliament is of utmost importance to hold control in what has to be put together if you are the head of a party that considers itself to be a people's party which means that there are very dear friend political opinions represented in this party and you'd need sort of strong leadership to hold it together not to speak of potential crown prince's and princes that rather would like to see you america's iraq to end earlier than 15 or potentially 16 years had a what's what's your view on that to what extent is the separation of the role of chancellor of the party leadership we can that the c.d.u. and how is it benefited your party. well that's 2 questions in what i think 1st of all it has been quite a new thing for the c.d.u. to have this edition between possibly dishes and the chance to read a good being program out to computer science but i think we have seen the big problematic and how

the times a set for changing for angle of a christian democratic union party with their good at our announcing that she will step down as party leader and it she doesn't want to be considered for the election if chancellor next year it means big changes have to be made but instead of getting on with making those big changes some in the c.d.u. party leadership are pointing the finger of blame at both poles of german politics saying they're to blame for the c.d.u. suffering the any of you benefits a little from what the left party has been saying for 30 years maybe did everything is bad they can reap the benefits of that now will protest voters have gone to the a.f.d. the debacle into danger where the c.d.u. allying themselves with the right wing a.f. de ultimately toppled calabar in an attempt to bring some stability to the central german state the left party proposed putting in place former minister president christine liebknecht of the c.d.u. until new elections can be held to rehear is far from having stable conditions which the absolute majority of citizens want the proposal of appointing t

well ultimately this is a public relations nightmare for the christian democratic union which is angle of merkel's party because they were part of that alliance but particularly for the free democrats because ultimately it was their man who was the face of this it was thomas kennedy who was elected at least for a few hours anyway as the prime minister of the state of today with the backing of alternatives for germany as well both parties have been doing their best to try and distance themselves from the union. point. eve does support comes as a surprise because it is not motivated by an agreement on substance but purely tactical the f.t.p. does not negotiate or cooperate with the d. there is no basis for cooperation we do not support the goals and values of that party or expecting to hear more from the man you just heard from their christian lin though as well as others on the spot ultimately where we are right now is parliament has been dissolved in the state of 10 year they will go back for fresh elections it's going to fall to the voters again to try and sort this mess out. thanks p

democratic union and not something like a declaration from whoever is currently in power the c.d.u. has to get its act together and decide what they want to be during the 15 years of america's leadership it moved from a conservative party to a centrist party because the german public is not as divided as in many polarized political systems where the 2 extreme poles don't even speak to each other in germany was still have a strong middle class and you win elections in the center that was strategically a smart move by mackler but the price they paid is that the right edge of the political spectrum does not feel represented and there are growing forces within that city will and also their sister party in bavaria that want to move the party further to the right but this is an open debate within the party and it's also a strategic choice a-k. is very hard to predict so to what extent was was. announced with that she's got to step down as much a defeat for angle a merkel and her whole world view if you like of her policies as it was for. well i don't think the blame is on matter because i
