No change of policy? Young Union threatens no to coalition agreement
The head of the Junge Union insists on the change of policy announced by CDU boss Merz. The coalition negotiations could come to an end this week.
The Junge Union (JU) threatens a no to a coalition agreement in which the change of policy promised by CDU boss Friedrich Merz is not anchored in the election campaign.
Ju-boss Johannes Winkel (CDU) told the “Süddeutsche Zeitung” when asked whether he would vote against a coalition with the SPD if there was no change of policy in the areas of migration, economy and bureaucracy: “Everything else would correspond to the motto”. “
Ju boss demands “change of politics” from CDU
“The CDU must not sign a coalition agreement without a change of policy coming,” said the head of the youth organization. “The CDU is no longer a chancellor’s election association,” he said, adding: “The times when the motto was applied, we get the Chancellery and the Social Democrats the content, they are actually over.”
The CDU is also a very self -confident party at the base. “The fact that a social democratically dominated coalition agreement will no longer work will no longer work,” warned Winkel.
Coalition negotiations in the crucial phase
Due to the falling survey values and internal criticism of the base, the Union is under pressure during the coalition negotiations with the SPD. On Monday, the negotiators want to negotiate again in Berlin – leading heads of the Union were recently optimistic that the final round would be heralded this week.
But when a coalition agreement could be available is unclear. CDU/CSU parliamentary managing director Torsten Frei said at the weekend that he was “very confident that we would come to a result next week”. CSU boss Markus Söder also wrote on X of the “final round”. In this crucial phase, the CDU and CSU insist that the coalition agreement must have a clear black handwriting.
