Niedersachsens CDU-Chef Sebastian Lechner hat vor der Klausurtagung des Parteipräsidiums einen «überzeugenden Plan» von Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz gefordert. «Uns bleibt keine Zeit für langes Zögern – die Menschen erwarten Entscheidungen, Führung und Ergebnisse», sagte Lechner der «Rheinischen Post». Die Klausur beginnt am Sonntag.

CDU-Chef Merz müsse die Klausur nutzen, um die Union unmissverständlich auf einen klaren, verlässlichen Kurs der wirtschaftlichen Erneuerung und der sozialen Fairness einzuschwören. «Wir brauchen diesen Neustart in Berlin», sagte Lechner, der CDU-Spitzenkandidat für die niedersächsische Landtagswahl im kommenden Jahr ist.

Die CDU müsse eindeutig in der gesellschaftlichen Mitte und in klarer Abgrenzung zu allem politischen Populismus und Extremismus von links und rechts verortet sein. «Wir erwarten von Friedrich Merz, dass er hierfür den Kurs und das Tempo vorgibt und einen überzeugenden Plan vorlegt», so Lechner.

Die jüngsten Wahlergebnisse im Bund und in den Ländern will Lechner als einen Weckruf für die Union verstanden wissen. «Die Menschen erwarten von uns keine internen Debatten, sondern greifbare Lösungen», sagte er.

Open Questions

Down syndrome: Bundestag wants to examine the use of prenatal tests

The Bundestag has adopted a motion to introduce monitoring for non-invasive prenatal blood tests with a large majority. The aim is to collect more data about the practical application of the tests, which have been paid for by statutory health insurance companies under certain conditions since 2022. Critics fear that the tests could become routine, while supporters emphasize that access should not be made more difficult if there is a medical indication. The results of the monitoring should be available by the end of June 2027.
