n-tv (~21:03 Mon): after Landesvorstand in Magdeburg, MdB Sepp Müller — Fraktionsvize — says “Ich kandidiere als Landesvorsitzender.”
Schulze: whole Landesvorstand up for re-election late Nov / early Dec; re-running as Landeschef “nicht sein Plan.” GenSek Kaschunke also stepping aside (MDR).

Why it matters —High-NA left the slide deck: Intel is already counting production wafers while rivals stay on Low-NA longer.
