Less than two weeks before the CDU party digital conference, NRW Laschet Prime Minister and Federal Health Minister Spahn presented a ten-point program. The friends at the party are promised a lot.
The Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, Armin Laschet, and the Federal Minister of Health, Jens Spahn, have presented a ten-point program for the future of the CDU. The document is available to various news agencies. It reads like the abbreviated version of an electoral program and was released just two weeks before the federal CDU party’s digital conference, in which Laschet requests the party presidency with the support of Spahn.
Laschet and Spahn are calling for a “burden moratorium on the economy” and a federal digital ministry. It also promises “zero tolerance for crime and extremism.” The current decade should become a “decade of modernization for Germany”.
The document stresses that “the whole of society must be reflected in the party and in parliamentary groups at all levels.” The party is promised a strengthening of member participation, open debates and a “clear demarcation to the right.”
Laschet, Merz, Röttgen
The program, which is advertised under the hashtag # Impulse2021, was sent to CDU district presidents, members of the state and Bundestag, and CDU European MPs.
The congress of the federal digital CDU party wants to elect a new president of the CDU on January 16. In addition to Laschet, the former leader of the parliamentary group of the Union Friedrich Merz and the external expert of the CDU Norbert Röttgen are running.
FDP sees a “good deal for talks”
The FDP is the first other party to react. Liberals were delighted that the program was “pleasantly different from the Union government action in Berlin.” He sees it as “a good opportunity to speak” and “a basis for cooperation with the FDP,” Secretary General Volker Wissing said.
