Merkel not to CSU congress
Chancellor Angela Merkel will next week at the party conference of the CSU, the Bavarian sister party of her CDU.
CSU thus breaking with a decades-old tradition. Participation of the President of one party to the convention of the other party applied within the 'Union' generally seen as a duty.
Merkel now stay away, has to do with the tension between the two party chairmen. Seehofer is not to speak of the political refugees of the Chancellor.
