"Anyone who follows it ...": JU slap in the face against Söder - CSU boss paints a way out

The Junge Union wants to come to terms with the election debacle.

But Söder does not come to the meeting.

But criticism is echoing from Münster.

The CSU boss prefers to position himself in an interview.

Münster - CSU boss Markus Söder had for the "Germany Day"

canceled.

The Junge Union did not find that funny, but "disappointing".

Because the three-day meeting in Münster, which began on Friday, also serves to come to terms with the election debacle for the Union.

Many CDU top politicians give speeches.

You also want to profile yourself as a possible successor to Armin Laschet as CDU party chairman.

But now General Secretary Markus Blume is to speak for the CSU.

"Germany Day" with Laschet, but without Söder: "Anyone who follows suit in the election campaign ..."

One could think that Söder * loves headline-grabbing appearances.

But lately he's been ducking his head *.

In the election campaign, the Bavarian Prime Minister liked to place tips against his competition, but also within the Union.

If they concerned Laschet in any way, Söder could be sure of the media coverage.

But now it's after the federal election * - and especially in the CDU there is a lot going on, a lot has to be worked on.

NRW state chief Johannes Winkel sharply criticized the chairman Laschet and Söder on Friday.

"Anyone who appears in the election campaign like Armin Laschet * shouldn't claim to be Chancellor directly after the election, but should above all take responsibility for the result," said the country chief to the applause of the delegates.

"And whoever follows in the election campaign like Markus Söder * shouldn't talk about style issues after the election, but go to confession."

"Germany Day" of the Junge Union: "We have behaved like a pile of chickens in the last few weeks"

The federal chairman of the Union's youth organization, Tilman Kuban, also drew a bitter conclusion in his welcoming address: The Union was in “a situation that cannot be otherwise described as shitty,” said Kuban.

He lamented the lack of unity in the election campaign: "We experienced an earthquake in the elections because we have behaved like a chicken pile over the past few weeks."

At the Union it is now time "for young minds and for a new agenda," said Kuban.

The Junge Union wants to be "the engine of renewal".

The JU chairman demanded that in future the members should vote on the CDU boss if there is more than one applicant.

In advance, Kuban encouraged women to run for chairmanship *.

The Germany Day is the highest body of the Young Union of Germany.

318 delegates from all 18 regional and foreign associations came to Münster for the annual meeting.

Laschet will also give a speech on Saturday morning *.

Söder does not come to the Junge Union in Münster - but he still has something to say

Söder, who wanted to make an appointment in Bavaria instead of going to North Rhine-Westphalia, made his point of view

clear

about the

. He pleads for a new cooperation between the two sister parties CDU and CSU. "In terms of style and content, we should move closer together again instead of talking publicly about each other," he said. "The CSU will therefore not give any public advice, but - if so desired - help to stabilize the Union." You have "a common bourgeois idea," said the CSU boss. When asked about the latest accusations from the CSU towards the CDU and Chancellor candidate Laschet, Söder did not respond directly - however, he emphasized: "We need a new way of working together."

"That was a unique election campaign that we will all work through together," said Söder.

"But it is important that we get away from the blame and talk to each other again." With a traffic light government, there could be a political change of epochs, so it is important that the CDU and CSU show a new unity.

"We have to become the bulwark against a left slide in Germany," demanded Söder.

Soon “traffic light coalition” in Germany?

CSU boss Söder does not want a blockade in the Federal Council

He also announced that he would not seek a fundamental blockade against a federal government made up of the SPD, Greens and FDP in the Bundesrat.

“The Federal Council must not be used across the board as a blocking instrument.

If it is good for the respective country and the whole of the countries, there will be approval of reasonable laws as before. "

In a recent survey by the ZDF “Politbarometer” *, the Union falls below the magic mark of 20 percent.

The values ​​for Söder and Laschet also look bad.
