The social wing of the CDU is very dissatisfied with the composition of the Bundestag parliamentary group and complains about a departure from social policy. “After these decisions, we doubt that the incumbent parliamentary group will be able to properly position our CDU for the future. With the decisions she has made it clear that she has learned nothing from the election errors, «says a resolution of the Federal Executive Committee of the Christian Democratic Workers' Union (CDA). With the chairmanship of the Labor and Social Working Group, an important CDA position had been given to the CSU by the top of the parliamentary group without any need.
The CDA federal chairman Karl-Josef Laumann criticized the position of the parliamentary group.
“That is great folly.
The result is underground for a people's party.
All candidates for the party chairmanship agree that social policy must play a bigger role, ”he said.
“That was ignored when the parliamentary group was constituted.
The parliamentary group needs a change of course, in terms of personnel and content! «, Said Laumann.
The fact that the CDU lost 2.5 million votes to the SPD and the Greens in the federal election shows that his party lacks a socio-political profile, according to the CDA federal executive committee.
"The top of the parliamentary group has now made it clear: They have not recognized the signs of the times and are not taking the people in our country with them with this policy," is complained.
»The committee chairmen deliberately refrained from discussing any issues that aim to promote the cohesion of society.
The CDU parliamentary group leadership is making it clear: Social policy is not a priority for them. «The future party chairman is expected to correct this misalignment in terms of content at the latest when the parliamentary group is elected.
