The polls of the AfD are currently skyrocketing. Schleswig-Holstein’s Prime Minister Günther also blames his own party for this.
According to Schleswig-Holstein’s Prime Minister Daniel Günther (CDU), the Union parties are also contributing to the AfD’s current high in the polls. “As a Union, we don’t succeed sufficiently in being noticed with convincing offers and picking up the disappointed votes,” says Günther of the “Welt am Sonntag”.
“So far we haven’t managed to show people our alternatives, for example when it comes to heating, more precisely. We have to explain more clearly where we want to go.”
The fact that Germany wants to be climate-neutral by 2045 is also not up for debate for the Union, says Günther. “This means that the heating area must of course also become emission-free.” The path of the Union would be just different, he explained. “We should state that clearly despite all the criticism of the considerable technical and communicative inadequacies of the traffic light coalition.”
He doesn’t think it makes sense for the government and opposition to blame each other on the subject of the AfD. “Neither of them is currently able to keep the AfD’s poll numbers at a lower level,” says Günther.
He was critical of the government work of the FDP at federal level. “What doesn’t work: to give the government’s internal opposition in Berlin. In the end, that only harms the entire government,” said the CDU politician.
