This autumn, the Union and the SPD plan to make a decision regarding the successor to Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
The SPD has already announced that it wants to nominate a woman for this high office, which would mark a first in German history. In contrast, the CDU is less clear on this proposal. While some voices from the Union focus on a woman, the name of a male candidate is also circulating, intensifying the discussion around the succession.
