The informal meeting occurred the evening before a contentious Bundestag vote on asylum policy, raising questions about its timing and implications.

Overview

  • Former CDU leader Armin Laschet hosted a private gathering in his Berlin apartment on January 30, 2025, attended by prominent CDU and Green politicians.
  • Notable attendees included Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, Cem Özdemir, Friedrich Merz, and former Health Minister Jens Spahn, along with representatives from the FDP and other non-political figures.
  • The meeting, described as friendly and casual, was held under the theme 'On a Glass with Armin Laschet' and reportedly lacked any formal political agenda.
