several attacks in the weeks leading up to the cd use party conference and a great. post the big question to her party colleagues and leipsic. many of them i know if you feel that the road i want to go down is not the road you want to follow then let us talk about that today and let does end it today here and now today. how did the 1000 delegates react with this 7 minute standing ovation continuing 190 minute speech the party that passionately our the policy measures she wants to pursue in the future. isn't enough to be the repair service of the republican we need to become the workshop of the future again that's our goal and that's what we want to do one time in my mind one of those in the audience was fleet ice melts revival that's has attacked a k.k.

several times in recent weeks this time he seemed surprisingly loyal and a good compound. a.k.k. gave a strong courageous and forward looking speech this morning. peter golic. very grateful to have that thank you via didn't we are loyal to our woman to our party leadership. and to the federal government chancellor merkel who has passed on the party leadership to come no longer takes part in these debates she used her opening speech to talk about more personal issues often make it so i thought i was on today is also a very special day for me my own fun because on november 22nd 2005 i was elected german chancellor for the 1st time and this remains something very special to me guns is on the walls for me. political child and they couldn't come on power is

giving it all at this conference and so far she is one at least for now. and our chief political. standing by for us in the eastern german city of life sic the into stupid clash didn't happen so is the peace going to last. often now and it did come certainly manage to call the bluff of those who oppose her from within the party and most of all. who lost against her year ago when she was voted to succeed angle immaculately party leader so yes there is kind of peace for now but everybody here is already asking the question how much longer this will last beyond this annual party conference because in the end this whole infighting is about who will get the chance to potentially succeed uncle or merkel for real as next german chance at least to become the conduct of the c.d.u.

and there's actually at least 2 more people waiting in the background to see how popular i'm going to come will be near the time in a year's time when the party will have to decide who should be on the ticket for now and if it's declined in the opinion polls of the parties the time the opinion polls isn't over yet she now has to turn around this trend or else so you have to fight this battle again from square one. what about the role of chancellor angela merkel in all this is obviously the most powerful politician in germany but what influence does she still have over her party. well she doesn't want to have a great influence anymore she's made clear it's not over who will eventually succeed her and she's made this clear time and time again what we're seeing is a gradual withdrawal from the party politics by angular machall and also getting a sense that she has

a rather firm view on international politics and particularly the presidency of the european union in the 2nd half of 2020 that will be a european legacy in the making that's why she wants to keep the government stable but she can already get a sense of that there will be more and more criticism of german policy that she's still making. in the lead up to her event to letting go of power a motion here went through which was targeted at 12 way the chinese technology provider who's still in the race here in germany to at least partly build the 5 g. network that such vital infrastructure here the most and went through ruling out any companies that are influenced by the government whether democrats go undemocratic quite clearly this was targeted at while way this doesn't bind to act but it's certainly something she will have to take into consideration ok there at
