Bavarian leader joins race to run as German chancellor candidate
BERLIN, GERMANY - APRIL 11: State Premier of Bavaria Markus Soeder wears a face mask during a joint press conference on the occasion of a closed door faction meeting of CDU and CSU with party heads Armin Laschet of the CDU and Markus Soeder of the CSU on April 11, 2021 in Berlin, Germany. Analysts see the meeting as an attempt to possibly resolve the question of which of the two men will be the chancellor candidate for the CDU/CSU, the Christian Democratic sister parties that are commonly referred to simply as "the Union" in German politics. Laschet, who is also premier of North Rhine-Wetsphalia, emerged as the favourite within the CDU in a runoff earlier this year, though support for Soeder, who is premier of Bavaria, has grown louder recently as Laschet has faltered in perceived missteps related to coronavirus policy. Merkel is stepping down as chancellor and voters will determine her replacement in federal elections scheduled for September. (Photo by Clemens Bilan - Pool/Getty Images)
