CSU demands radical changes in policy: more security and growth for Germany!

In the political events in Germany, the focus is currently on several important topics. The CSU has presented a 20-point plan that strives for a radical change of policy. The aim of this plan is a renaissance of economic growth, security and cohesion in Germany, such as Focus reported.

The CSU's proposals include tax exemption for overtime surcharges and tax -free additional earnings for pensioners up to 2,000 euros per month. Furthermore, a reduction in corporate tax to 25 percent and a lowering of VAT is required for food in the catering trade. In order to increase security, the CSU plans to issue three percent of the gross domestic product for security measures. This includes a strict course in migration policy, which includes the designation of endangers and criminals and the rejection of asylum seekers at the limits.

political accents and debates

To strengthen retirement provision, the CSU proposes the introduction of a fourth pension column through a state-funded pension primer for 6 to 18 year olds, whereby parents should deposit 10 euros per month. In addition, the CSU calls for the abolition of ten ideology projects of the traffic light government, including the voting right reform and the legalization of cannabis. Christian Lindner from the FDP appeals to the Union to commit himself to a black and yellow alliance, while Robert Habeck calls up the Greens to open collaboration after the election.

Another hotly discussed topic in parliament was the legalization of cannabis, which was dealt with in a debate on November 15, 2024. Critics from the CDU/CSU see legalization as a threat to internal security. The traffic light coalition had previously passed a corresponding law in February 2024, which has legalized the possession and consumption of cannabis under certain conditions since April 1, 2024. From July 1, 2024, associations can also submit applications for approval, such as Bundesag.de

dr. Silke Launert from the CDU/CSU criticized legalization as an invitation to criminals and referred to the Mocro drug mafia from the Netherlands. Federal Minister of Health Prof. Dr. Karl Lauterbach (SPD) described the legalization as a paradigm shift and was accused by the Union to block the law. The different views of the legalization of cannabis illustrate the tensions between the political camps in Germany and their approaches to drug policy.
