Election campaign: CDU continuing program with a five-point migration plan from Merz

Despite loud protests and criticism from its own ranks, the CDU wants to implement the controversial five-point plan of party leader Friedrich Merz to stop the illegal migration immediately after taking over the government. This promises the party in the draft decision for a “immediate program”, which is to be adopted this Monday by the 1001 delegates of an election party holiday in Berlin. It is available to the German Press Agency.

First, the “Rheinische Post” from Düsseldorf and the “Politico” portal reported on the paper. The 15-point program under the title “Our immediate program for prosperity and security” was sent to the party executive in the evening. It is divided into two topics and contains essential parts from the CDU election program.

With nine out of 15 individual points, the immediate program under the sub -heading “Priority for competitiveness and prosperity” focuses on economic issues. Several resolutions of the failed traffic light government of the SPD, the Greens and the FDP are to be turned back quickly. With every decision, you will make sure “that it serves the competitiveness of the German economy, the prosperity and security of people in the country,” says the paper.

“Priority for competitiveness and prosperity”

Electricity tax and network charges are to be reduced, so that a relief of at least five cents per kilowatt hour arises. For a dismantling of the bureaucracy, the CDU wants fewer operating officers, no bonus obligation, abolition of German supply chain regulation and the stress by the Energy Efficiency Act. The heating law of the traffic light is to be abolished and the agricultural reward remuneration is being completely reintroduced.

Instead of a daily, a weekly maximum working time should be determined and thus enabled more flexible work. Oxyion surcharges are to be made tax -free. If you want to voluntarily work in retirement, you should get your salary up to 2,000 euros a month. The CDU wants to reduce sales tax on food in restaurants and restaurants to seven percent. In addition, the number of government officers is to be halved.

“Safety for people in Germany”

In addition to Merz’s five-point plan with permanent border controls, rejections at the borders and a permanently indefinite exit arrest for criminals that are subject to departure and dangers, the CDU wants to continue to pursue the “influx limitation law” that failed on Friday in the Bundestag. A limitation of migration is mentioned as a clear legal goal, as is the end of the family reunification for subsidiary – i.e. limited – authorized persons and more powers for the federal police.

According to the immediate program, the CDU also wants to reverse the “express naturalization of the traffic light” as quickly as possible. She emphasizes: “The German passport is at the end of integration and not at the beginning.” The cannabis law should be abolished. Sexual abuse of children is to be combated with the storage of IP addresses. The party wants to stop violent offenders against women with an electronic boast.

With which partner can the CDU implement your program?

It remains open whether the CDU can enforce its announcements after a victory in the Bundestag election – and if so to what extent. According to the current surveys, the Union is likely to be dependent on the SPD or Greens in the formation of a government, which have decided in the burst traffic light government a lot of what is to be withdrawn now.

Outrage for a decision on five-point plan with AfD votes

CDU boss and Union Chancellor Friedrich Merz had caused outrage because he accepted in the Bundestag that AfD votes could be decisive for majorities beyond the SPD and the Greens. His five-point migration plan had received a majority on Wednesday-for the first time because of AfD votes. The decision does not have a binding effect for the government. A draft law of the Union to limit migration failed on Friday in the Bundestag despite the approval of the AfD.

Tens of thousands of people took the street in protest, sharp criticism came from the two great churches and from former Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU). The publicist and moderator Michel Friedman explained his exit from the CDU. While the SPD, the Greens and the left speak of a taboo and dam break, Merz counters that a correct decision is not wrong by the wrong decision. It is eagerly awaited how the 1001 delegates react to the AfD course – the CDU boss has strictly excluded a collaboration with the right -wing populists.

This Sunday Merz wants to visit the party sphere hall. In the late afternoon, the Presidium and then the board of directors come together for the last consultations before the delegate meeting.
