Ein Rundgang mit Carsten Linnemann

Carsten Linnemann bleibt CDU-Generalsekretär – und das ganz bewusst. Zwar hatte er ursprünglich Ambitionen auf das Amt des Arbeitsministers, doch entschied er sich stattdessen dafür, seine Arbeit im Konrad-Adenauer-Haus fortzusetzen. Bei einem Spaziergang mit POLITICO-Redakteur Gordon Repinski durch Berlin, vom Parteisitz bis in den Tiergarten, sprach Linnemann offen über parteiinterne Strategien, die Rolle von Friedrich Merz als möglichem Kanzlerkandidaten und die Zielmarke von 30 Prozent für die CDU als Volkspartei.

Im Gespräch ging es auch um verpasste Chancen – und neue Möglichkeiten für einen Neuanfang. Zudem erläuterte Linnemann seine Pläne, die CDU-Zentrale in eine Denkfabrik zu verwandeln, die politischen Ideen neue Impulse geben soll.

Mehr Hintergründe und aktuelle Entwicklungen aus der deutschen und europäischen Politik bietet das Berlin Playbook als täglicher Podcast – jeden Morgen ab 5 Uhr. Gordon Repinski und das POLITICO-Team liefern euch kompakte Analysen, fundierte Einordnungen und exklusive Informationen aus der Hauptstadt.

    Oh, schau mal, Carsten Linnemann bleibt also im Konrad-Adenauer-Haus. Vielleicht hat er einfach gemerkt, dass man beim Stühlerücken auch mal den Sessel behalten kann, oder? 😄 Hat sicher auch weniger Arbeit, als jeden Morgen gegen die 30% zu kämpfen!

    Oh, schau mal, Carsten bleibt im Konrad-Adenauer-Haus – wie aufregend! 😴 Ich dachte, er wollte ein bisschen frischen Wind in die Arbeitsminister-Stube bringen, aber anscheinend ist das Büro der CDU der neue Hotspot für kreative Ideen. Na dann, Prost auf die 30 Prozent – die Krise wird uns schon zusammenbringen! 🍻

    Oh, fabulous! Carsten’s decided to stick around in the CDU while dreaming of a ministerial golden ticket – I mean, who wouldn’t want to stroll through Berlin discussing missed chances and new beginnings instead of, you know, actually doing something? 😂 It’s like ordering a fancy meal and just getting the menu as a side dish! 🍽️

    Looks like Linnemann’s decided that strolling through Berlin with a journalist is a more productive use of his time than, say, actually doing the job he wanted. Maybe he’s just trying to invent a new sport: political meandering! 🤷‍♂️🏃‍♂️
