Power struggle in Berlin CDU : Like Kai out of the box News

The Berlin-based street Wharf, in the city as a "Great rattlesnake" is known, creates it in the famous children's novel by Wolf Durian with a surprise coup and the nasty Tricks of his gear up to the title "advertising king". This will remain Berlin's local politicians, Kai Wegner, in spite of similar systems and effective networks, to be denied.

A worse advertisement for their own product, in this case, the Berlin CDU, can hardly be imagined: From the Arrogance and Weariness, and because the opportunity appears to be favorable to, and draws Wegner's own country, Chairman and until recently, the possible top candidate, the non-partisan respected state Minister of Culture Monika Grütters, deep into the putrid swamp of his own party, where the rattlesnakes live.

of Course, there are good reasons for the latent dissatisfaction with Grütters. You is too little a presence in the political underground level of the city, even an appointment with the own group in the house of representatives comes only after months. Your ideas for Berlin seem to be randomly ignited Ladykracher in the new year's eve.

the Chairman of The group of your choice, Burkard Dregger, as a friendly hard-liners only a minority. In the surveys of the national Association around sailing in a small circle around its own ton. And since in the CDU with the end of the Era Merkel is a socio-political Rollback runs, dwarves Grütters as a cosmopolitan Conservative of the uprising of the garden from the party's own small garden colony "Union Berlin" is hardly more help.

However, Grütters is the best Option for the top candidate

And yet her audience is, a good two years before the next house of representatives election, the best, if not the only Option for the top candidate. Wegner's Plan, as Chairman to replace, not to be used for the party in the European election campaign as the wrecking crew, and then falls into a black hole. He also serves the city, which deserves to be in the Opposition and no further self-employment group needs.

Wegner satisfy only his own interest and that of some friends, be it for Power, out of Schadenfreude or revenge. A substantially different policy. And the top candidate, he does not want to be. Wegner, what is currently, probably, would be Grütters sawed off as a figurehead, in an election campaign you would have as a puppet of the puppet master.

Could make Wolf Durian it into a novel, it would perhaps be funny. For a party with the government to claim it is only one thing: ridiculous.
