CDU: „CDU pur ist gescheitert“ – Vor der Klausur wächst der Druck auf Merz

Nach den Landtagswahlen in Sachsen-Anhalt und Mecklenburg-Vorpommern sucht die CDU nach Wegen aus dem Umfragetief und der Konkurrenz durch die AfD.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

Die CDU hat bei den Landtagswahlen in Sachsen-Anhalt und Mecklenburg-Vorpommern massiv an Stimmen verloren und Regierungsverantwortung eingebüßt.

Font size

Berlin. Seit den Landtagswahlen in Sachsen-Anhalt und Mecklenburg-Vorpommern ist nichts mehr so, wie es mal war in der CDU. Binnen zweier Wochen im September verlor die Partei nicht nur die Regierungsverantwortung in Magdeburg und flog in Schwerin erstmals in ihrer Geschichte aus einem Landtag. Vor allem verlor die CDU gegen die AfD. Die hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, die CDU zu zerstören.

In Magdeburg wird die AfD vielleicht schon im Dezember erstmals einen Ministerpräsidenten stellen. Und in Schwerin sieht sich die AfD bereits als die neue bürgerliche Partei. Die CDU? Nur noch außerparlamentarische Opposition.

Angesichts dieser Gemengelage und katastrophaler Umfragewerte der Koalition sowie des Kanzlers und CDU-Chefs Friedrich Merz begibt sich die Parteispitze an diesem Sonntag bis zum Montagvormittag in Klausur.

Open Questions

  • ?Welche konkreten Strategien wird die CDU gegen die AfD entwickeln?
  • ?Wie reagiert die Parteibasis auf die Klausurergebnisse?

Warnings about red-green-red: explorations with the left in Berlin are causing a dispute

The explorations between the Left, the Greens and the SPD in Berlin are accompanied by sharp domestic political disputes. Minister of State for Culture Wolfram Weimer (close to the CDU) warned against a left-wing alliance and saw effects on the federal coalition, while SPD General Secretary Tim Klüssendorf rejected the criticism and referred to the Union's cooperation with right-wing extremists. Green politician Omid Nouripour expressed security concerns due to anti-Semitic tendencies and proximity to organized crime among the Berlin Left. The left, on the other hand, is hoping for a “beacon for a change in policy”. The talks are scheduled to continue at the top level on Sunday.
