3 days agoGermany's governing CDU seeks reforms at party conference
Meeting in campaign mode In Germany's political system, federal party conferences are key events for any party, serving as an opportunity for self-reassurance, attack or consolation. Even the choice of venue holds meaning: a show of campaigning and confidence. Elections are being held in host state Baden-Wurttemberg two weeks after the party conference. Before the end of September, four more of Germany's 16 states are set to hold elections. In two of the five states Berlin and Saxony-Anhalt the CDU holds the office of state premier.
