Coalition durability under scrutiny: CDU maintains composure amidst discord within ranks during the judge election
CDU General Secretary Carsten Linnemann Addresses Coalition Tensions
In an interview with the Tagesspiegel, CDU General Secretary Carsten Linnemann discussed the current state of the black-red coalition, addressing a range of topics from internal communication to the proposed Aaron judge candidate, Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf.
Linnemann praised Jens Spahn, the Union faction leader, stating that he works tirelessly for the success of the coalition. He emphasized that finger-pointing does not help anyone, and it's crucial to focus on finding solutions.
However, Linnemann expressed serious concerns about Brosius-Gersdorf, the SPD's proposed candidate for the judge's election. He mentioned that churches, lawyers, and medical ethicists have raised several issues regarding her suitability for the role.
Linnemann also dismissed accusations that Jens Spahn deliberately ended the black-red coalition to cooperate with the AfD. He reiterated his stance against external influence in the judge's election and emphasized that the Union has not been influenced by extremists.
The traditional process for proposing judge candidates involves the respective parliamentary factions of CDU/CSU and SPD presenting candidates alternately. There is no information indicating that Brosius-Gersdorf was on the proposal list.
Regarding the last-minute cancellation of the judge's election, Linnemann admitted that internal communication within the coalition was not smooth. He did not, however, provide details on a possible new agreement.
Notably, Ricarda Lang, a prominent figure, made malicious accusations against Jens Spahn, implying he aims to end the black-red coalition. Linnemann did not address these accusations directly.
In conclusion, Linnemann's statements emphasize the need for the coalition to learn from initial difficulties and find a widely supported solution. He also underscored the importance of internal unity and communication in overcoming challenges.
