The meeting was organised on short notice after Frank Engel's statements regarding wealth taxes brought party-internal differences to light over the course of the weekend. The president recently drew criticism from various fronts, such as Wort or the CSV's youth affiliation, to which he reacted in a facebook post.
On the opposite end of the political spectrum, Engel received support for his stance on social injustice in times of the coronavirus. Minister Dan Kersch showed his appreciation in a facebook post, while the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Sustainable Development Carole Dieschbourg expressed her support in an RTL Radio interview on Monday morning.
