And let's be clear:
-The alliance AKK-Spahn has only a support of 62 % within the decision making class
- Mini-Me AKK will be blamed for every furher misstep yet Merkel will get the benefit
-As soon as Merkel is gone, who will keep this extremely heterogenous coalition together?
- Mr Ziemiak headed the JU, which was pro-Merz. Will he be able to keep out of trouble or will be seen as traitor within the JU?
Imagine the following scenario: Snap elections are occurring, Merz is nominated as the chancellery candidate, and the Greens will become the strongest party.
The triumvirate Merz/AKK/Ziemiak (the Spahn surrogate) would be annihilated and therefore engulf the CDU in a grave crisis.
