The responsibility of the CDU in times of change

The political landscape in Germany faces major challenges that are particularly noticeable in Thuringia and Saxony. Wolfgang Bosbach, an experienced CDU politician, recently shared his thoughts on possible conversations with the Alliance Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW). These discussions could be crucial for the future orientation of the Union and its credibility.

In an interview with the Kölnische Rundschau, Bosbach emphasized the importance that the Union should play an active role. "If the Union there would say that we don't even talk to the BSW! - How should it go on then?" He put in the room rhetorically. This statement underlines the struggle of the CDU to assert itself in a rapidly changing political climate.

A central aspect of his argument is the responsibility of the political actors on site. The CDU state politicians Mario Voigt and Michael Kretschmer are challenged to actively act and to keep an eye on the interests of their federal states. "You know your responsibility - for your federal states, but also for the credibility of Union policy as a whole," said Bosbach. This view illustrates how important local decisions can be on the wider political scene.

The examination of the past is also essential for the CDU. Bosbach criticized the internal course of the party since the migration crisis in September 2015 and the abrupt exit from nuclear energy. These decisions have triggered irritation in many loyal voters. He advocates that the Union should learn from these experiences in order to regain lost trust.

Another point that Bosbach emphasizes is the role of the Greens in the current political debate. "The Greens are the main opponent of the Union," he says. This assessment reflects growing awareness within the Union to face socio -political and economic challenges and to take on personal responsibility.

Overall, it can be seen that the current political discussions and discussions within the CDU can not only have local but also national consequences. The way the party deals with the BSW and positions itself to the Greens will play a key role in the restoration of their political reputation.

In conclusion, it remains to be said that the future of the CDU strongly depends on its ability to master these challenges. An open dialogue and the pursuit of solutions will be of crucial importance for the Union to secure political stability.
