默茨：德国下一任总统必须是女性，将提名政治中间派共同候选人
柏林——德国总理默茨（Friedrich Merz）11月2日在基民盟（CDU）地方党主席闭门会议上表示，德国下一任联邦总统必须是女性，他将提名一位来自政治中间派的共同候选人。据多名与会者向媒体转述，默茨说，这一次提名必须是一名女性，「在这一点上，我已经拿定主意」。
现任联邦总统施泰因迈尔（Frank-Walter Steinmeier）的第二个五年任期将于2027年3月18日结束，联邦大会定于2027年1月30日选举继任者。德意志联邦共和国成立77年以来，先后出任总统的12人全部是男性。基民盟领导层预计11月9日就提名人选作出初步决定；此前只有绿党公开表示希望推举女性候选人。
基民盟的姊妹党基社盟（CSU）已提出巴伐利亚州议会议长 Ilse Aigner；基民盟内部被提及的人选包括联邦议院议长 Julia Klöckner、联邦教育部长 Karin Prien 和前党主席 Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer。11月3日公布的一项 Forsa 民调显示，50%的德国人认为前总理默克尔是担任联邦总统的合适人选，排在首位；默克尔办公室今年2月已表示，有关她可能参选总统的猜测牵强附会。

Merz: Germany's Next President Must Be a Woman; He Will Nominate a Joint Candidate From the Political Centre
Berlin — German Chancellor Friedrich Merz told a closed meeting of CDU district chairpersons on November 2 that Germany's next federal president must be a woman and that he would nominate a joint candidate from the political centre. According to several participants who briefed the media, Merz said the nominee this time must be a woman: "I have made up my mind on this point."
Incumbent President Frank-Walter Steinmeier's second five-year term ends on March 18, 2027, and the Federal Convention is scheduled to elect his successor on January 30, 2027. In the 77 years since the Federal Republic was founded, all 12 of its presidents have been men. The CDU leadership is expected to take a first decision on its nominee on November 9; so far only the Greens have publicly said they want a woman to be nominated.
The CDU's Bavarian sister party, the CSU, has put forward Ilse Aigner, president of the Bavarian state parliament. Names circulating inside the CDU include Bundestag President Julia Klöckner, Education Minister Karin Prien and former party leader Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer. A Forsa poll published on November 3 found that 50 percent of Germans consider former Chancellor Angela Merkel a suitable candidate for the presidency, putting her first; Merkel's office said back in February that speculation about a possible candidacy was far-fetched.
