Former CDU Secretary General Tauber ended his political career. The Secretary of State of the Ministry of Defense announced it in a letter to his constituency.
Peter Tauber has announced that he will end his political career. In a letter to the members of his constituency, the Secretary of State for the Defense Ministry announced that he no longer wanted to run in the 2021 federal elections. “After careful consideration, personal and family reasons prompted me to make this decision,” Tauber wrote in the letter that the dpa news agency claims to be available. First, the Funke media group reported on it.
“It is not just my health situation that plays a role, but also the idea of seeking and accepting new professional challenges,” continued Tauber. It is no secret that family means a lot to him and that he sees the center of his life in Gelnhausen in Hesse. “In the long run, the task in Berlin is damaging.”
The last few years have partly pushed it to its limits. But he’s still connected to the CDU. He will also participate in the upcoming local elections in Hesse.
Tauber wanted the CDU to be “younger, more feminine and more colorful”
Tauber was general secretary of the CDU from 2013 to 2018. During this time, he had also campaigned against internal party resistance in favor of an immigration and dual citizenship law. Both are now represented by the CDU.
The 46-year-old also campaigned to make the CDU “younger, more feminine and more colorful.” The party’s openness to homosexuals was also a concern for him: the CDU’s structural and constitutional commission is currently working to anchor Lesbians and Gays in the Union (LSU) as a so-called special organization with a permanent place in the party.
Tauber joined the CDU in 1992, from 2003 to 2009 he was state president of the Junge Union in Hessen. The historian with a doctorate has been in the Bundestag since October 2009.
