was keeping out of a debate in her conservative bloc over whether Christian
Democrat party chairman Armin Laschet or Bavarian premier Markus Soeder should
be the candidate to succeed her.

"I wanted to, want to and will stay out of it,"
Merkel told reporters when asked if she feared the struggle between Laschet and
Soeder could damage their conservative alliance so much that they lose the
chancellery after a September 26 federal election.
