Germany could get a female president for the first time in history. According to available reports, the conservative CDU/CSU bloc has agreed on the candidacy of the president of the Bavarian state parliament, Ilse Aigner, who is expected to replace Frank-Walter Steinmeier in the office. aktuality.sk ↗
Aigner is also supported by the Social Democrats from the SPD, which increases her chances of being elected. The politician's candidacy would also represent a significant agreement between the main parties of German government policy. STVR (Minúta po minúte) ↗
Chancellor and CDU chairman Friedrich Merz was reportedly to officially propose Aigner within the party leadership. Negotiations and the relevant decisions were planned to take place on Sunday and Monday. However, Merz did not publicly answer specific questions regarding the successor to the incumbent president in the evening. teraz.sk ↗
Ilse Aigner heads the Bavarian state parliament. Her nomination would mean that, after Steinmeier, the highest constitutional office in Germany would for the first time be held by a woman. Steinmeier is the current German president, with the question of his successor having moved to the center of political negotiations. svet.sme.sk ↗
The further process is expected to be determined by the CDU's party bodies and subsequent negotiations with coalition partners. SPD's support could provide Aigner's candidacy with a broader political base, but the final decision still has to go through a formal process.
