CDU: Police union complains “Fake”Policewoman on election poster

“We are there for all citizens, not the set for election programs”: A CDU election campaign poster provokes criticism from the police union (GdP). GdP Vice Radek chooses clear words.

The police union (GdP) has criticized the CDU for an election campaign poster with an employee disguised as a police officer as the motif. “Just as policemen are not allowed to go to party meetings in uniform, parties should not advertise themselves with fake policemen in our outfit”, said the deputy GdP federal chairman Jörg Radek “picture” (Wednesday). “We are there for all citizens, not the set for election programs, not even those of police friends. Without accompanying text ‘Attention! Canvassing! ‘ this can also be punishable.”

CDU election campaign posters with employees and members

CDU General Secretary Paul Ziemiak had presented his party’s election campaign and the associated posters on Tuesday – including the one with the apparently policewoman. Because of the restrictions and hygiene standards, no models or purchased pictures were used for the photos, rather they worked with employees and members of the CDU, it said. The posters should be pasted and put up with the start of postal voting in mid-August.
