Expectations that, after the elections in September, the candidate of the conservative bloc for German Chancellor Armin Lachet will succeed Chancellor Angela Merkel at the head of the largest European economy, have greatly increased, given Lachet’s leadership of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) in public opinion polls.
The latest poll conducted today by the Forsa Institute for Public Opinion Research showed that support for Lašet’s party CDU and his partners from the Christian Social Union of Bavaria (CSU) has been around 30 percent in the last three weeks. reports the German agency Dpa.
CDU-CSU support was 28 percent a month ago.
The September elections will also mark the beginning of a new era after Merkel’s departure, which will leave the political scene after 16 years in power.
