CDU leader Kai Wegner is about to reach the big goal

Berlin It hasn’t been three weeks since it was CDU-Boss Kai Wegner in the Tagesspiegel and many other media referred to as “King without a country”. Although he won the election, the chances of getting the Red City Hall are slim, it said.

After all, Red-Green-Red has a stable majority and Prime Minister Franziska Giffey will do without it CDU-Government participation is unlikely to voluntarily give up items that are still due.

It turned out differently and with the now clearly emerging black and red coalition for Berlin Kai Wegner is suddenly in the limelight. For the 50-year-old, who regularly has to endure ridicule simply because of his origin and roots in Spandau, the satisfaction should be almost limitless. Wegner, who was denigrated as a “garden gnome” when he ran for the CDU presidency in 2019, is close to his goal: moving into the Red City Hall.
