According to migration vote
Michel Friedman leaves the CDU in protest
Michel Friedman is a controversial spirit – but no longer in the CDU. After the vote in the Bundestag, in which the AfD helps a Union application to the majority, he pulls the ripcord.
The publicist and moderator Michel Friedman (68) declared his party exit from the CDU after the joint approval of the Union and AfD for an application for migration policy. “I am no longer a member of the CDU,” said the former deputy chairman of the Central Council of Jews in Germany to Hessischer Rundfunk (HR).
With regard to the vote in the Bundestag on Wednesday, Friedman told the HR: “For the first time, a democratic party, in the case my former party CDU, made it possible that the AfD carried out a majority in parliament with this democratic party. And This fracture of taboo is unexcused. “
In the ARD “Daily Topics”, Friedman, who lives in Frankfurt am Main, said that the purpose of this means was not. “This distance between Democrats and non -democrats is important because it offers orientation. The AfD is not on the side of democracy, it is outside of democracy. The CDU also knows that.”
On Wednesday, the Bundestag had decided on a five-point plan presented by Union Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) for a sharper migration policy with votes from CDU/CSU, AfD, FDP and without a parliamentary member. For the first time, the AfD obtained a majority in the plenum.
“My inner credibility and also my outer man cannot support that,” Friedman told Mr. “I fight, on the other hand, that anti -democrats and human haters get some political influence. That was a fire accelerator for the AfD and its political influence.”
Friedman joined the CDU in 1983, and the federal executive board belonged to the federal board between 1994 and 1996. After the donation scandal of the Hessian CDU, he moved to the Saarland State Association in 2000.
