Six election winners sit in a room to discuss the change of policy they planned. Women are missing in the round. The Greens boss therefore draws a Syria comparison.
A photo published by CSU boss Markus Söder on the Union consultations after the victory in the Bundestag election creates discussions about the lack of participation of women in the talks and the proportion of women in the new Bundestag. You can see the tips of CDU and CSU in the picture from a barren meeting room: party leader and candidate for chancellor Friedrich Merz, general secretary Carsten Linnemann and the first parliamentary managing director of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group, Thorsten Frei, from the CDU page and from the CSU Söder , Secretary General Martin Huber and state group leader Alexander Dobrindt.
The picture ensured mocking comments on social networks. The satirical side “Postillon”, for example, wrote: “Union defends itself against criticism that no women take part in the meeting:” What do you think who covered the table? “” Green boss Franziska Brantner told the German press agency to the Discussions: “The new Syrian government is likely to become more diverse than the Union’s negotiation team.”
According to the Statistics of the Bundestag, there are 204 women among the 630 MPs – that is 32.4 percent. With the CDU, the proportion of women is 22.6 percent (2021: 23.8), at the CSU 25 percent (2021: 22.2). The proportion of female MPs is therefore the highest in Bündnis 90/The Greens with 61.2 percent (2021: 58.5 percent), the lowest in the AfD with 11.8 percent (2021: 13.3 percent). According to the information, the SPD is 41.7 percent (2021: 41.8 percent), in the left 56.2 percent (2021: 53.9 percent).
