Union revolt against the hapless candidate for Chancellor Armin Laschet

After the federal election on Sunday, two candidates for chancellor in Germany position themselves to form a government: election winner Olaf Scholz (63) from the SPD and the defeated Armin Laschet (60) from the CDU / CSU. Despite the election failure, Laschet wants to form a government, vying for the same parties as Scholz, namely the Greens and the FDP.

But Laschet is blowing an icy wind around his ears from within his own ranks. Prominent figures even demand that he give up begging and that the CDU / CSU refrain from participating in the government.
