CDU state chairman and deputy federal chairman 2010 to 2012

Norbert Röttgen (2012)

In October 2010, the CDU NRW conducted a member survey as to whether Röttgen or Armin Laschet should become the new chairman. In the run-up to this election, both of them presented their positions from September 1, 2010 in “discussion duels” at the eight CDU district associations. 82,533 (52.8%) of the approximately 158,000 CDU members took part in the vote - by postal vote or by voting in one of the 139 polling stations. The results of the survey were announced on October 31, 2010: Röttgen accounted for 45,235 of the votes cast (54.8%). His formal election as state chairman took place on November 6, 2010 in accordance with the CDU statutes by the state party conference in Bonn. Röttgen received 92.5% of the vote there.

On November 15, 2010, the CDU federal party conference in Karlsruhe elected four deputy chairmen. Norbert Röttgen achieved the best result of all deputies with 88.2% of the votes (the three abstentions were considered invalid votes); Annette Schavan , Volker Bouffier and Ursula von der Leyen were also elected .

On the evening of the lost state elections on May 13, 2012 , Röttgen announced that he would resign from the CDU state chairmanship. In September 2012, contrary to what was announced after the NRW election defeat in May 2012, he decided not to run for the federal executive board again.

CDU top candidate for the 2012 state elections in North Rhine-Westphalia

After the budget budget of the red-green minority government in North Rhine-Westphalia failed to find a majority in the state parliament on March 14, 2012 and the parliament then dissolved, Röttgen declared his readiness on the same day, in the new election of the state parliament as the top candidate of his party against the prime minister Hannelore Kraft , who had a similarly high popularity rating as the former Prime Minister Johannes Rau .

Röttgen's statement at a press conference on May 8, 2012 that she wanted to vote on Chancellor Merkel's European course, triggered massive criticism in the CDU. Röttgen withdrew the statement the next day: "On Sunday, it is not Angela Merkel's course in Europe that will be voted on, but Ms. Kraft's debt rate in North Rhine-Westphalia."

A few days before the election he made a faux pas in a ZDF television discussion : When asked by journalist Dunja Hayali whether he would also go into the opposition in NRW in the event of a defeat, he said: “I mean, I should actually be Prime Minister but unfortunately it is not the CDU alone that decides, the voters decide. ”He immediately described this statement as irony and withdrew it; nevertheless it found a media response. One day after the election, Horst Seehofer commented on the defeat to Claus Kleber , ZDF: "There were many reasons for that, for example, that they did not fully opt for this country."

In the early state elections on May 13, 2012, the CDU received 26.3% of the votes cast; this was their historically worst result in NRW. Röttgen himself was defeated in the constituency of Bonn-Innenstadt / Beuel , where he ran for the first time, with 28.3% of the first votes to the SPD candidate Bernhard von Grünberg , who received 45.8 percent.

After the election defeat, Röttgen renounced his state parliament mandate, which he had received above the list.

Candidacy as CDU party chairman 2020

On February 18, 2020, Röttgen was the first candidate to apply to succeed CDU boss Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer.

He formulated a six-point plan to justify and aim for his candidacy:

  1. CDU as a party in the middle : Clear demarcation to the right (to the AfD ) and to the left ( Die Linke ).
  2. CDU as the party of German unity : “ Germany dialogue on equal terms” between East and West.
  3. Elimination of the reasons for the increased right-wing populism : Proactive action and concrete problem solving, instead of “being overwhelmed, reacting and repairing afterwards”.
  4. Arrange migration: condemnation of the “war- criminal bombings of Assad” and Russia in Idlib , European coalition of the “able and willing”.
  5. Regaining ecological and climate political credibility for the CDU.
  6. CDU must take political leadership: For cosmopolitanism, for the protection of citizens and reason. In addition, there should be a “noticeable tax relief for normal earners”. The CDU stands for "an open society based on solidarity, an innovative, strong economy and a stable democracy".

On February 25, 2020, Friedrich Merz and Armin Laschet , who will stand with Jens Spahn as deputy, announced their respective candidacies at the federal press conference. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the election of the new CDU party chairman will not take place until December 4th and 5th, 2020 at a regular party conference in Stuttgart.

Election campaign

At the beginning of March Röttgen published an election campaign for his candidacy under the motto “Now go ahead!”. On the website created for this purpose, he published his “agenda” as party chairman. The first topic he presented there was his ideas about European and foreign policy. In this regard, he urged u. a. closer cooperation with France , a strengthened EU foreign policy , a “new deal” with the USA, a stronger commitment in NATO , a European China strategy, a constructive but consistent approach to Russia , Germany as a “peace power” in the Middle East and North Africa , as well as more investments in the Bundeswehr . In the course of the global coronavirus pandemic , Norbert Röttgen announced on March 13, 2020 that his campaign would be suspended until further notice.

CDU member of the Bundestag (since 1994)

Röttgen has been a member of the German Bundestag since 1994 . He always moved into the Bundestag as a directly elected member of the constituency Rhein-Sieg-Kreis II . In the 2009 Bundestag election , he received 50.3% of the first votes . For federal election 2013 candidate Röttgen again and received 52.4% of the primary vote; In 2017 he received 46.5% percent.

In April 1996, together with other young MPs such as Hermann Gröhe and Ronald Pofalla, against the will of the then Federal Chancellor Helmut Kohl, he campaigned for a liberalization of citizenship law . In the media, this group of young politicians was often called " young savages ". He was also a member of a parliamentary group made up of members of the CDU and Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen , which met several times for exploratory talks from 1995 to the early 2000s and was called the Pizza Connection .

From 2000 to 2009 he was deputy chairman of the CDU regional group in North Rhine-Westphalia in the German Bundestag. From October 2002 to January 2005 he was the legal policy spokesman for the CDU / CSU parliamentary group . On January 25, 2005, at the suggestion of Angela Merkel, he was elected First Parliamentary Managing Director of the CDU / CSU parliamentary group. He held this office until the end of the legislative period in October 2005; Peter Altmaier became his successor.

From December 14, 2005 until the end of the legislative period, he was also Chairman of the Parliamentary Control Committee .

Röttgen also campaigned for the reduction of bureaucracy . As the first parliamentary managing director of the CDU / CSU parliamentary group in 2005, he commissioned a project group to think about it. The results of the group led to the " Law for the establishment of a National Regulatory Control Council ", which was introduced in 2006 as a draft of the two government groups in the German Bundestag under the leadership of Röttgen and the then SPD manager Olaf Scholz and passed on August 14, 2006. In 2007 Röttgen took over the chairmanship of the board of trustees of a national competence center for the reduction of bureaucracy costs, which is located at the Fachhochschule des Mittelstandes in Bielefeld.

Röttgen was considered one of the closest confidants of the CDU chairwoman Angela Merkel. Together with the then General Secretary Volker Kauder and the CSU politicians Markus Söder and Erwin Huber , he worked out the election manifesto for the CDU and CSU for the 2005 federal election .

Discussion about activity for the Federal Association of German Industry

On January 1, 2007, Röttgen was to become General Manager of the Federation of German Industries (BDI). He therefore wanted to give up his post as First Parliamentary Managing Director of the CDU / CSU parliamentary group in October 2006, but would keep his mandate in the German Bundestag until the end of the legislative period (autumn 2009). This was criticized from circles of the other parties - later also from the CSU and CDU - as well as the BDI itself. The BDI general manager to be replaced, Ludolf von Wartenberg, was also a CDU member of the Bundestag until he took up his post (January 1, 1990); he then did not run for the federal election on December 2, 1990 .

On July 18, 2006, the former BDI presidents Hans-Olaf Henkel and Michael Rogowski spoke in an open letter of a "[...] possibly fatal error [...]" and saw "[...] insoluble conflicts of interest [...]". They considered it “wrong to accept his simultaneous membership in the German Bundestag” and called for a waiver of his mandate .

The state chairman of the CDU Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania , Jürgen Seidel , said in a newspaper interview on July 21, 2006: "I think it is difficult when full-time lobbyists are also members of the Bundestag and have to fill two time-consuming and labor-intensive functions well."

After increasing criticism of his planned dual role, Röttgen withdrew his acceptance of the post of General Manager at BDI on July 21, 2006. Hans-Olaf Henkel paid Röttgen respect for his decision.

Federal Minister for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (2009–2012)

On October 28, 2009 - after the 2009 federal elections - Röttgen succeeded Sigmar Gabriel as Federal Minister for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety . His dismissal took place in 2012 as part of the fourth cabinet reshuffle in the Merkel II cabinet , the black-yellow coalition after the 2009 federal elections.

Nuclear power policy

He made no secret of his critical attitude towards nuclear power. As the minister responsible for reactor safety, he sparked a controversy in the party in February 2010 with his statement that the party had to “think carefully about whether it wanted to make nuclear energy a unique selling point”. The then Prime Minister of Baden-Württemberg Stefan Mappus even called on Röttgen to resign in May 2010. Others agreed with Röttgen, e.g. B. the Saarland Prime Minister Peter Müller .

When Merkel, after a long hesitation, initiated an extension of the service life of German nuclear power plants in autumn 2010 , Röttgen pleaded for one of less than ten years. The decision-making process was accompanied by clear public protests by the anti-nuclear movement. On September 5, 2010, at an “atomic summit”, the federal government agreed to extend the service life of the older and newer German nuclear power plants by 8 or 14 years. The coalition brought the amendment of the Atomic Energy Act through the legislative procedure in the Bundestag as quickly as possible ; this approved on October 28, 2010 with a black and yellow majority.

Shortly after the Fukushima nuclear disaster occurred, Merkel questioned her view of the remaining safety risk of nuclear power plants and thus her nuclear policy and, in agreement with her Environment Minister Röttgen, announced the nuclear phase-out , which was decided by an overwhelming majority in the Bundestag in June 2011. With the immediate shutdown of eight old systems, the energy turnaround was initiated, the planning and implementation of which is still in the process of being completed. As Environment Minister, Röttgen was entrusted with this task until 2012.

E10 fuel

Röttgen came under fire as part of the introduction of gasoline with a higher bioethanol content ( E10 ). The managing director of Shell Germany , Peter Blauwhoff, urged him to strive for more acceptance among the population, since the sale of E10 had fallen short of the forecasts, which Blauwhoff interpreted as a protest attitude.

Environmental ethics

Röttgen said in 2009 that environmental protection is required by Christian ethics . God created nature and man, and this obliges to “preserve creation ”, for which the biblical story of the creation of the world in the 1st book of Moses could give impulses: “The preservation of the earth must follow exactly this prototype of the Creator. Respecting and protecting living spaces, enabling life, creating order, that is divine creation and at the same time God's mission to us humans. "

Resistance to the energy transition

In the course of the energy transition, Röttgen repeatedly had to deal with conflicts with its own parliamentary group. His plans to cut solar power subsidies in the Federal Council also met with resistance from the CDU Prime Minister.

Resignation as Federal Minister

Resignation or dismissal as an option

Due to the loss of votes by the CDU in the state elections in North Rhine-Westphalia in 2012, there was criticism of Röttgen from Union leaders. On May 14, 2012, one day after the NRW election, a crisis meeting of the CDU presidium and federal executive took place in Berlin. Defense Minister Thomas de Maizière sharply criticized his cabinet colleague for this, Union parliamentary group vice Michael Meister is quoted as saying: "The problem was credibility", which meant that Röttgen had kept the door open for a return to Berlin and not for the state of North Rhine-Westphalia decided what the voter, according to the construction, also liked negatively. There should have been discussions between Merkel and Röttgen about this point during the election campaign. However, Röttgen later stated that this was an agreement: He should declare that he would definitely move to Düsseldorf and then - in the event of a defeat - be prevented by Merkel because he was indispensable for the energy transition.

Merkel also criticized the fact that Röttgen had addressed the euro exchange rate of her government in the election campaign. CSU boss Horst Seehofer, for example, vehemently demanded Röttgen's resignation as federal minister. The next day, Merkel confronted Röttgen with a demand to resign, presumably because such a weakened environment minister could no longer drive the important and stalled energy transition with authority. Röttgen wants to stay in office. According to the Rheinischer Post , he complained that the Chancellor had not adequately defended him against the attacks by Horst Seehofer.

The Federal Cabinet met on Wednesday, May 16, 2012, at around 9:30 a.m. After the cabinet meeting, Merkel took Röttgen aside for a one-on-one conversation to inform him that she would ask the Federal President to dismiss him. However, she asked him beforehand if he would prefer to resign. Röttgen refused again.

After Merkel phoned Federal President Joachim Gauck , Gauck was on vacation in Italy, a spontaneous press conference by the Chancellor followed around 4.30 p.m. The explanation and justification of the expulsion by Merkel took 1½ minutes, queries were not allowed.

Discharge

On May 16, 2012, a few days after Röttgen's failure in the state elections in North Rhine-Westphalia , Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel proposed that the Federal President be dismissed in accordance with Article 64 . This was unusual because his relationship with Chancellor Merkel was considered unusually good. For this reason, among other things, Röttgen was sometimes referred to in the media as “ Mutti's smartest ”.

It was the first ministerial dismissal in Merkel's seven-year chancellorship. From a historical point of view, after the dismissal of Rudolf Scharping by Gerhard Schröder  , it was only the second dismissal of a federal minister against the will of the person concerned in the history of the Federal Republic. Earlier, Merkel Röttgen had prompted his dismissal from office solicit what these declined. Günter Bannas (FAZ) wrote that Röttgen stood for that part of the CDU that can be paraphrased using terms such as “black-green”, “opening up to new groups of voters”, “liberal bourgeoisie”. Röttgen was its intellectual spokesman; With the dismissal, Merkel had "cut the head off" of this whole wing of the CDU.

Peter Altmaier , whose high level of loyalty to Merkel was known, was named as his successor at the press conference on May 16, 2012 (announcement of Röttgen's dismissal by Merkel). Altmaier was appointed Environment Minister on May 22, 2012.

Before the Federal President's dismissal, Volker Kauder , parliamentary group leader of the CDU / CSU parliamentary group , warned Röttgen against a public "accounting".

Federal President Gauck expressed his respect for the dismissed Röttgen. He thanked him for his long "commitment to the common good" and added: "I wish that you can continue to do that in the future."

Feedback and criticism of the dismissal

The surprising dismissal of Federal Environment Minister Norbert Röttgen by Merkel caused unrest in the CDU and was heavily criticized. Bundestag President Norbert Lammert (CDU) said the dismissal was regrettable not only for Röttgen himself, but for the entire party. Norbert Röttgen paved the way for a fresh start for the regional association immediately after the NRW election was lost.

Merkel justified the dismissal on May 22, 2012 before the CDU / CSU parliamentary group. The evening before, at a meeting of 40 members of the NRW Bundestag of the CDU, some had expressed their displeasure with the dismissal or the circumstances.

The NRW-CDU (including its Secretary General Oliver Wittke and the chairman of the CDU parliamentary group in the NRW state parliament, Karl-Josef Laumann ) expressed incomprehension about the dismissal. Laumann has been quoted many times with the sentence: “Today's dismissal of Norbert Röttgen frightens me. I don't understand why Norbert Röttgen was considered the outstanding environment minister he was until 6pm on Sunday evening and is being dismissed today. "

CDU internal politician Wolfgang Bosbach also criticized the dismissal : “I would have given him a second chance in office. ... A little more humanity would suit us very well. ”And further:“ If someone is on the ground, you don't have to step on them. ”Former Federal Minister (1982–1998) Norbert Blüm (CDU) said:“ It's not appropriate . ... That 's not how you treat each other. "

Union chairman in the Bundestag environmental committee, Josef Göppel criticized: "This is not how you can deal with each other in a party with the C in the name."

The media also paid a lot of attention to the unusual event, a ministerial dismissal, which was not specifically accused in office: Ulrich Reitz , editor-in-chief of WAZ , commented in a comment that Röttgen was "the last of a series of victims of the remarkable Machiavellian top woman". Other observers, as quoted by Der Spiegel, commented in unison: “It is the greatest possible political humiliation, there is even talk of a political execution.” The Berliner Morgenpost saw a new quality of “biting away”: So far Merkel has bitten the old and the conservatives such as Friedrich Merz , Roland Koch and Horst Köhler . With Norbert Röttgen it hit someone who stood for the future of the Union.

There was also speculation as to who might have been the cause. CSU boss Horst Seehofer criticized Röttgen for the electoral disaster shortly after the NRW election was lost. He also publicly questioned his suitability as a minister. There was a lot to be said for Seehofer's intervention; the parliamentary managing director of the CSU regional group, Stefan Müller , demanded an independent energy ministry after Röttgen's dismissal. This with the aim of bundling competencies in network expansion.

The opposition SPD saw the process as evidence of the instability of the black-yellow coalition and called for new elections. The opposition also said that this was an expression of an “act of desperation”. With the dismissal of Federal Environment Minister Norbert Röttgen, Merkel had to reshape the black and yellow cabinet for the fourth time.

Member of the Bundestag after 2012

On June 12, 2012, the Financial Times Deutschland surprisingly reported that Röttgen was going to be a deputy member of the Bundestag's Foreign Affairs Committee. The North Rhine-Westphalian MP Sabine Weiss withdrew from the committee for Röttgen . At the next vacant position in the Union contingent of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Röttgen should then move up as a full member. Röttgen has been chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee since January 2014. Shortly afterwards, the Russian president was Vladimir Putin , the annexation of Crimea . Röttgen has clearly criticized this, referring to international law, and is considered critical of Putin.

In this capacity, he called in June 2016, the critical remarks made by the German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier at a NATO - Military maneuvers on Russia's western border and its possible effect on the East-West relations after the end of the first Cold War as "outrageous accusation." Steinmeier had called for a dialogue; Röttgen viewed this as undermining NATO activities among NATO partners.

In May / June 2014 he took part in the Bilderberg Conference in Copenhagen . At these conferences, influential people from politics, business, the military, the media, universities and the nobility meet for informal discussions.

In January 2015 Röttgen and Hans-Georg Kluge founded the partner law firm "Röttgen & Kluge". It also includes Michael Hund , who was Vice President of the Federal Administrative Court until 2011.

Röttgen supported the Charter of Digital Fundamental Rights of the European Union published at the end of November 2016 .

On the occasion of the Brexit negotiations in September 2018, given the EU's stance, he said that it was a “mistake of the other EU heads of state and government” to promise British Prime Minister Theresa May “to the point of humiliation at the EU summit in Salzburg snub ".

Röttgen is one of the two vice chairmen of the non-profit organization Atlantik-Brücke and a member of the board of trustees of the aid organization CARE Germany .
