After the federal election: Values Union calls for Laschet and Söder to resign
What is more, the values union even demanded that the board members should be re-elected not only by delegates, but by all union members.
After all, during the 16-year chancellorship of Angela Merkel *, the Union "took a fatal course to the left".
Now, for the first time in a long time, one is no longer the strongest force.
It also said: "The federal executive has supported this course and shared responsibility for the current election debacle."
In addition, the Values Union called for a government to be formed without the Greens, should coalition negotiations take place after the federal election *.
The Union of Values is not an official party division, but sees itself as a representative of the conservative current in the Union.
Federal election 2021: Criticism hail after election debacle at the Union: Kretschmer and Spahn rant
There were also critical tones from Michael Kretschmer (CDU), Prime Minister in Saxony.
He titled the election result as an "earthquake", one had shown a "very clear change in mood against the CDU", he ranted on Monday morning at "MDR Saxony".
Therefore, he does not understand how one can currently speak of a government mandate: "I believe that this is the wrong attitude to deal with such an election result." This line is not sustainable.
Health Minister Jens Spahn * (CDU) also formulated critical tones after the election debacle and called for a generation change.
"We will have to work through this result," he emphasized to the news magazine Spiegel.
