DW: Members of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Christian Democrats have denied a report that Wolfgang Schäuble was asked to step in and mediate a migration policy compromise with the Bavarian CSU.
Politicians from Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union said no role had been offered to Bundestag President Wolfgang Schäuble to help find a compromise on migration policy with the CDU’s Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union.
An escalating disagreement between Merkel and Interior Minister Horst Seehofer over migration policy is threatening to tear apart the ruling conservatives, who currently govern with the Social Democrats (SPD).
The Rheinische Post newspaper had reported on Friday that Volker Kauder, head of the CDU’s parliamentary group and one of the most powerful people in Merkel’s party, saw Schäuble as having “credibility on both sides” due to his past criticism of Germany’s refugee policies and his unwavering loyalty to Merkel.
