  • According to Tagesspiegel information, Claus had long been on an internal candidate list in government circles; her name became public only now.

  • On Tuesday, the Hesse CDU parliamentary group leader expressed interest in the presidency and stressed the need for an orderly process.

  • Merz’s circle said no decision or proposal had yet been made; the CDU executive committee meeting on November 9 is the first milestone.

  • Green politician Omid Nouripour rejected Claus as a candidate and voiced support for Ilse Aigner.
    • “We have not yet had a woman at Schloss Bellevue, so it stands to reason that the time has come.”— Ines Claus said this in March in an interview with the FAZ, when asked whether the next head of state should be a woman.
