Saskia Ludwig spotted at right congress with Weidel – Union distances herself
Before the Bundestag election, Saskia Ludwig spoke in favor of a coalition with the AfD. Now photos are showing the CDU politician in conversation with Alice Weidel in Hungary.
The management of the Union faction is at a distance to the controversial CDU MP Saskia Ludwig from Brandenburg. The background is pictures that Ludwig show together with AfD party leader Alice Weidel at an event of the right-wing conservative Hungarian thought factory MCC.
“Ms. Ludwig did not take part in the event on behalf of the parliamentary group and without the knowledge of parliamentary group management,” said a spokeswoman for the “Tagesspiegel”. “The CDU’s incompatibility decision applies and excludes any cooperation with the AfD. Every CDU member is bound to it.”

Before the Bundestag election, Ludwig had spoken out for a coalition by the Union and AfD. Brandenburg’s CDU general secretary Gordon Hoffmann told the “Tagesspiegel” now that there is a clear party convention decision that excludes coalitions with cooperation with the AfD. “If you want to change something about it, you have to organize a new majority. I don’t even see it in the beginning.”
