Seehofer announces he will step down as CSU party leader
By EUobserver
Germany's interior minister, Horst Seehofer, on Sunday offered to step down as Christian Social Union (CSU) party leader, suggesting a special party convention in early 2019 to elect a new leader. It comes as the Bavarian party's new cabinet is sworn in on Monday to govern in coalition with the Free Voters, after a historically poor result in October elections. Seehofer's future as interior minister is unclear.
