Phoenix reports live from the Federal Party Congress of the CDU in Berlin. The party congress takes place from May 6th to 8th, 2024 in the Estrel Congress Center in Berlin and is under the motto "Win Future together". The aim of the three -day party conference is to discuss programmatic foundations and political course for Germany. A new fundamental program is to be adopted and a new federal board is elected.

The party conference will be officially opened on Monday at 10.30 a.m. Kai Wegner, Governing Mayor of Berlin and the state chairman of the CDU Berlin, will keep a greeting. Subsequently, Friedrich Merz, the chairman of the CDU in Germany, will submit a report, followed by a report by General Secretary Dr. Carsten Linnemann. At 2 p.m. the election of a new federal board is on the agenda. Friedrich Merz runs again for the chair and there is little doubt about his re -election. However, the question is how high the delegates' encouragement will be at the party congress for Merz in Berlin.

On Tuesday, the party congress continues and the basic program "Live in freedom - Germany will surely lead to the future" and adopted. The CDU plans to fix a "leading culture" in its new fundamental program. Furthermore, the "tightened asylum law" and the greeting of the Bavarian Prime Minister Dr. Markus Söder, Chairman of the Christian Social Union, are on the agenda.

The third day of the party congress is dedicated to the European election campaign. There are speeches by Ursula von der Leyen, the top candidate of the European People's Party for the European elections, and a greeting from Roberta Metsola, the President of the European Parliament.

The Federal Party Congress of the CDU represents an important political event in Berlin, in which programmatic decisions are made and the course is set for the future. Historically, there have already been several CDU federal parties in Germany, in which significant political decisions were made. An example of this is the CDU federal party conference in 2000, where Angela Merkel was elected CDU chairman.

This year's party congress in Berlin will also have an impact on the political landscape in Berlin and Germany. In particular, the election of the federal board and the adoption of the basic program will influence the positioning of the CDU. The discussions about a "leading culture" and a "tightened right of asylum" will also be of interest beyond the party conference and stimulate political debates.

Overall, the CDU Federal Party Congress will be an important milestone in German politics and will broadcast extensively live by Phoenix so that the citizens have the opportunity to pursue the events up close.
