CDU Welcomes New Digital Minister to its Party Ranks
New kid on the block, Karsten Wildberger, takes a political dip, joining the CDU despite being a previous outsider. And why not, North Rhine-Westphalia has always felt like home, even without the fancy party membership.
Wildberger, the freshly appointed Federal Digital Minister, was up until now, a political vagabond. His new political home, however, is not just any random political den, but the CDU, the state association affirming the news. If you recall, Wildberger was the big dawg at Ceconomy conglomerate in Düsseldorf and the chair of Media-Saturn's management board.
Feeling like a glove that's been molded just for him, Wildberger mentioned, "I've been attached to North Rhine-Westphalia for a long time, with the CDU being my ideal political fit, even without the party membership. It's like finding that elusive missing piece. I'm stoked to take this leap and contribute, not only as a federal government minister under Chancellor Friedrich Merz, but also as a member of the North Rhine-Westphalia CDU squad led by the venerable Hendrik Wüst." Wüst, both the state premier and CDU state chairman, is known for his visionary slogan, "From coal to AI."

The Christian Democrats are enthusiastically championing a potent social market economy and a much-needed policy overhaul, specifically focusing on digitalization and updating our state's infrastructure. Wildberger delivers a firm stance, "We consider ourselves champions of trust between citizens and government institutions. Our ultimate goal is to breathe new life into the faith people invest in us."
General Secretary of the CDU NRW, Paul Ziemiak, expressed his delight, "It's a bonus to have Federal Minister Wildberger joining the ranks of the CDU North Rhine-Westphalia. Wildberger's arrival is a testament to the attractiveness of our party, given North Rhine-Westphalia's forward-thinking, AI-driven slogan." Merz's jotting down of Wildberger's name in his cabinet was quite the surprise coup.
Sadly, digging up details on Wildberger's political past proved to be as elusive as the proverbial unicorn. The search tells us squat about his political background and previous affiliations before his association with the CDU in North Rhine-Westphalia.
