Horror with the fat cat quotaThe CDU workers’ wing attacks Merz
After Junge Union’s clear statement, the employee wing has now also spoken out and accused the leadership of lack of orientation and lack of strategic action. Chairman Radtke warned that the EU’s current behavior poses significant political risks.
In the CDU, criticism of the federal government’s political management and the party leadership is increasing. After Junge Union, another party association, the workers’ wing of the CDU, publicly distanced itself from the leadership. “Everyone who means well for the Union and this government is amazed and horrified every week by the fat cat quota,” the federal chairman of the Christian Democratic Workers Association (CDA), Dennis Radtke, told “Süddeutsche Zeitung”.
“There is no central motive, no common thread” in the federal government, Radtke lamented. Instead, “freestyle principles seem to apply more, where everyone just throws something away.” He added: “Today, each chicken pile looks like a structured structure with a clear compass by comparison.”
Radtke continued: “As soon as the debate on urban landscapes was over, we discussed questions about at what age drugs should be approved or when we can buy Russian gas again – while civilians in Ukraine are dying every day from Putin’s rockets.”
CDU leader and Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz started the debate on urban landscapes with statements critical of migration. The debate on Russian gas was initiated by CDU deputy Michael Kretschmer. And it was the medicines commissioner in the Merz government, Hendrik Streeck, who raised the question of whether very expensive drugs should be prescribed to the very elderly.
“The recklessness that our federal government has repeatedly demonstrated that it still has three years left is dangerous,” Radtke said. “We still have ten months until the state elections in the eastern region. If the mood of the federal government is not different by then, then we will be living in another country.” “Everyone will eventually have to understand this and consider their own actions.”
