Cross-day in the ZDK: Resignation of Kramp-Karrenbauer provides vertebrae!

Berlin, Deutschland - in the heart of Berlin, a political drama unfolds about the Migration policy of the CDU, which shows piquant aftermath. The former CDU chairman Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer has announced her leak from the central committee of the German Catholics (ZDK). The reason for this step is the sharp criticism of Irme Stetter-Karp, the President of the ZDK, to the new, strict migration specifications of the party. Kramp-Karrenbauer explained that in view of this “harsh CDU criticism”, she does not see a basis for further participation in the Laiendachverband, such as .

Stetter-Karp regrets the resignation of Kramp-Karrenbauer and describes it as a painful loss for the ZDK. The president gave insights into the decided migration policy issues that clearly contradict the Union's positions. Former ZDK boss Rita Rassover also expressed an understanding of the resignation. She praised the "important and very good work" of Kramp-Karrenbauer in the ZDK and criticized the way the statements were made without a profound discussion. She also sees a shared responsibility for the SPD and the Greens, who, according to its points of view, could have prevented the AfD from playing a major role in these votes, such as Der Spiegel reported .

A сигanl for the CDU that internal differences about migration policy can not only lead to division within the party, but could also act like a loose thread in the larger political structure. The debate about national identity, refugee crisis and party policy has broken again and shows that the CDU is in a critical self -reflection to define its future orientation.
