Font size

Das Nicht-wahrhaben-wollen ist die erste Phase der Trauer nach einem schweren Verlust. Und auch die CDU in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern will es nicht so recht wahrhaben, was da gerade passiert ist.

Nach der Wahl am Sonntag ist klar: Die CDU wird im nächsten Landtag in Schwerin nicht mehr vertreten sein. 4,9 Prozent, es ist das schlechteste Ergebnis für die Christdemokraten in der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik. 32.000 Stimmen verlor die Partei an die AfD, 25.000 an die SPD, 11.000 frühere Wähler sind verstorben. Ganze Landstriche in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern werden in Zukunft von keinem einzigen CDU-Politiker mehr repräsentiert. Ausgerechnet hier, in der politischen Heimat von Altkanzlerin Angela Merkel.

Merz admits: CDU is only partially a people's party

Friedrich Merz admits that the CDU is only partially a people's party, while Alice Weidel from the AfD claims that she has replaced the CDU as a people's party. Political scientist Aiko Wagner explains that a people's party is characterized by its breadth, size, duration and social roots. The AfD is on the way there, but still lacks a stable membership base and frontline organizations. In many European countries, popular parties have lost their importance due to changing social realities.

AfD politician counted votes despite her own candidacy - lodged an objection to local elections

An AfD politician from Buchholz in Nordheide counted votes as an election worker despite her own candidacy for the district council, city council and local council. A councilor has lodged an objection against the election of the city council and the Trelde local council and is planning further objections against the district council election and the mayoral runoff election. The state election management sees a violation of protective regulations, but no influence on the election result.

AfD is aiming for the office of state parliament president in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania – district council president Thomas Diener under pressure

After its victory in the state elections in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the AfD wants to fill the office of state parliament president. The SPD has already rejected this. In the district council of the Mecklenburg Lake District, the appointment of the district council president's office is controversial: the CDUplus faction wants Thomas Diener to be recalled after he switched from the CDU to the AfD faction and then left the factions. Diener criticizes his former party and leaves open the possibility of joining the AfD. The next district council meeting will take place on October 5th.
