AACHEN, Sept 26 — Chancellor Angela Merkel yesterday urged Germans to give her would-be successor Armin Laschet their vote to shape Germany’s future, in a last-ditch push to shore up his beleaguered campaign 24 hours before Germans vote.
In the last week of the campaign, Merkel took Laschet to her constituency by the Baltic coast and on Friday headlined the closing rally gathering the conservatives’ bigwigs in Munich. “It is about your future, the future of your children and the future of your parents,” she said at her last rally before the polls, urging strong mobilisation for her conservative alliance.She underlined that climate protection would be a key challenge of the next government, but that this would not be achieved “simply through rules and regulations.
Hundreds of thousands of people had descended on the streets on Friday urging change and greater climate protection, with a leading activist calling today’s election the vote “of a century”. He also gave a glimpse of the future government he hopes to lead, saying that “perhaps it may be enough to, for instance, form a government between the SPD and the Greens”.
Laschet went into the race for the chancellery badly bruised by a tough battle for the conservatives’ chancellor candidate nomination.But Laschet was seen chuckling behind President Frank-Walter Steinmeier as he paid tribute to victims of deadly floods in July, an image that would drastically turn the mood against him and his party.
