CDU problem is making waves: Klöckner calls for "a matter of course"

Not only CDU politicians complain about a lack of women in top positions in the party.

In this regard, Klöckner would like to see “simply normality”.

Berlin / Osnabrück - The CDU is looking for a way out of the crisis.

After all, the plan for the appointment of a new chairman recently became more concrete.

The reorganization is likely to cost the CDU a lot of energy.

Something should be done both in terms of content and personnel.

Among other things, the party’s age structure is criticized when it comes to staff.

Economics Minister Peter Altmaier and Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer are so painful that the generation change has so far been missing that they are giving up their seats in the Bundestag.

Nadine Schön, for example, is allowed to move up - a younger woman who distinguishes herself above all in digitization politics.

CDU is looking for young women: "Often times they get less involved"

It thus fulfills several criteria that the CDU is desperately looking for. Last but not least, the deputy CDU chairwoman Julia Klöckner criticized the fact that women were not visible enough across the board. “There is only one woman among all Union parliamentary group leaders in the countries, and things do not look any better among the party leaders in the countries. If there are only a few positions to be given, women often have fewer opportunities, ”said the Federal Minister of Agriculture to the

. Just recently, a picture at a meeting of the group chairmen of the Union caused a stir on social networks.

It is not enough that the Union has appointed Angela Merkel as the first female chancellor and Ursula von der Leyen as the first female defense minister, says Klöckner.

What is needed is "simply normality, a matter of course even when you first look at the fact that women are not uncommon in the CDU in general".

From their point of view, women in the party should promote and encourage other women.

"I think we need more practical mentors who encourage other women and support them."

CDU in crisis: "We can't bake any candidates at the moment"

CDU federal board member Wiebke Winter also called for the party to become younger and more feminine. “Diversity means that you can make a policy that may appeal to even more people,” said the 25-year-old to the newspapers of the

. “We can't bake any candidates at the moment. But we have to develop women, we have to improve structurally. ”More and more experts are analyzing that the promotion of young talent was not carried out during Merkel's reign and leadership.

The lack of women for leadership positions in the CDU is particularly impressive when it comes to names for the party chairmanship.

At the moment, those who appeared suitable for the post are male and from North Rhine-Westphalia, says Winter.

"However, I would be happy if the field becomes even more mixed." Possible applicants for the top of the CDU are economic politician Friedrich Merz, Minister of Health Jens Spahn, foreign politician Norbert Röttgen, Union parliamentary group leader Ralph Brinkhaus and economic politician Carsten Linnemann.
