BERLIN - Friedrich Merz, one of the most likely candidates to take over the leadership of German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservative Christian Democrats , said on Tuesday in a tweet that he had tested positive for coronavirus.
Merz, who wants to shift the CDU to the right in a clear break from Merkel’s more liberal brand of conservatism, was confirming a report first published by the dpa news agency. The CDU has postponed a conference planned for late April to pick a new leader after Merkel protegee Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer said last month she would stand down.
While the new CDU leader will be in a strong position to be the conservatives’ candidate for chancellor, this would still have to be agreed with the CDU’s Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union , which may prefer its own leader Markus Soeder.
