Time ripe for a federal president
The previous one CSU-Thef Horst Seehofer advocates a woman as head of state and sees his party colleague Ilse Aigner for this. “It is generally time for a woman to put it at the top of this state. I am absolutely for a woman and of those who can present the CSU, the Ilse would also be in the first place for me. I trust her to do that, ”said Seehofer of the“ Süddeutsche Zeitung ”.
He added: «She is very human -oriented, easy to use and her fundamental speeches as the state parliament president have substance. When the Ilse comes to the circle of candidates, it also gives a boost for other women. »
There have been twelve federal presidents since 1949, but no woman in this office yet. The second term of Steinmeier ends on March 18, 2027. It cannot be re -elected.
In 1999 the Union sent a woman into the race for the highest state office with Dagmar Schipanski. Born in Thuringia and politician, who died in 2022, was defeated by Johannes Rau (SPD).
