The CDU has suffered heavy losses in two state elections and is now seeking a way out of the crisis. The party president, Laschet, went on to the confrontation. Chancellor Merkel is again lowering expectations in crown policy.

NorthAfter the state elections in Baden-Württemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate, the Union begins to process the results. After Sunday’s electoral debacle, CDU leader Armin Laschet called on his party to make a joint effort before the next federal elections in September.

It was not given by God that the CDU should provide the Federal Chancellor, he said, according to information from the German Press Agency from participants in a meeting of his party’s digital board on Monday. Consequently, he demanded: “We have to fight.”

The CDU had historically poor results in Baden-Württemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate on Sunday.

“Do not produce new disappointments”

Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) warned against false expectations about the involvement of general practitioners in the corona vaccination campaign. The decision in her deliberations with the Prime Minister this Wednesday evening should bring maximum flexibility, but should not lead to further disappointment, Merkel said on Monday, according to information from the German Press Agency from participants in the online deliberations.

He waits for an agreement with the countries in the deliberations. Everyone should receive a vaccination offer until the federal elections in September.

Merkel and the prime minister want to set the timetable for the inclusion of general practitioners in the vaccination campaign on Wednesday night. This is scheduled for early to mid April. The goal is “to get the vaccine to citizens as quickly as possible at a combination of vaccination centers and general practitioners,” government spokesman Steffen Seibert said last week. But there must be enough vaccine for this, as Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU) had made clear.

The Board of Directors adopts a code of conduct

Laschet also reacted to the mask issue in the CDU parliamentary group. According to the information, the party leader said in the board of directors that the common good must once again be formative for a mandate. If someone wants to be a mask seller, they should do it, but without a mandate.

In response, the CDU’s executive board decided Monday on a code of conduct for officials and mandate-holders at all political levels. It says: “Members who abuse the party or its mandate for selfish purposes violate the principles of the CDU. You have to resign from the mandate and leave our party immediately. “

The code of conduct establishes, among other things, that all secondary activities or participation in the boards of directors and supervisory boards must be disclosed, even if they are free. The same might apply to the company’s profit shares, stock options, or investments. Therefore, even candidates must commit to abiding by the rules.

Government office holders and elected officials are prohibited from accepting donations. Candidates cannot personally accept campaign donations. Mandate-holders cannot have business relationships with a state or its companies if they belong to a body that deals with relations with that state. It also stipulates that parliamentary and party activities must be precisely separated from each other.
