CDU supports AfD application: construction of the suspension bridge over Peenestrom decided!
A historic turning point in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district council: CDU MPs approved an AfD proposal for the first time. The application relates to the construction of a suspension bridge over the Peenestrom near Wolgast, which promises to significantly improve the connection to the popular island of Usedom. The residents who want the project to be implemented quickly could breathe a sigh of relief.
The motion was approved by a majority of five out of eight parliamentary groups, while the Greens, SPD and Left strongly opposed it. CDU parliamentary group leader Jeannette von Busse emphasized the importance of the project for the people in the region. “This is a good sign for the future of our infrastructure,” said von Busse. The resolution also calls on the CDU district administrator Michael Sack to work towards the rapid implementation of this commitment.
Criticism and concerns
Despite the positive signal, there are massive concerns among other groups. The Greens, SPD and Left criticize the decision as symbolic politics and point out that the district administrator has no decision-making authority in this matter. There are also doubts about the financial viability of the project, whose total costs are estimated at more than 500 million euros. The Federal Ministry of Transport requires the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania to carry out a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis before any further steps can be taken.
The discussion about cooperation between the CDU and the AfD could become more intense in the future. While the CDU presidium has so far strictly rejected cooperation with the AfD, there are voices within the party that are calling for an opening to the far right. Party leader Friedrich Merz emphasized that under his leadership there would be no cooperation with the AfD. However, this is not the first tense discussion of this kind: in recent years there have been over 100 documented collaborations between other parties and the AfD at the local level in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

The employees there are young and dynamic, and they have a great commitment to mobile solutions and software development.

According to one Guide For the embroidery of polo shirts, the choice of fabric becomes crucial for the stability and longevity of the product.

The political impulses and economic movements of our time often overlap in exciting ways. Whether local infrastructure projects or digital services in the Philippines – it remains to be seen how developments will continue to unfold both in the district council and in other economic sectors.
