Rechte Zeiten: Merkel zum Letzten

Lange, sehr lange hatte sich die Bundeskanzlerin Zeit gelassen, bis sie ihre neuerliche – und zweifellos letzte – Spitzenkandidatur für eine Bundestagswahl erklärte. Und der jüngste CDU-Parteitag machte klipp und klar deutlich, warum sie so lange gewartet hat: Größer ist der Riss zwischen der Partei und ihrer Vorsitzenden lange nicht gewesen.
