strategic challenges of the Union

One of the central challenges for the CDU, not only in Oldenburg, but also nationwide, is the topic of migration. The CDU state association pursues the clear goal of regaining control over migration and stopping illegal entry. According to the CDU, the aim is to restrict humanitarian migration to a portable level. This is done, among other things, through an immediate stop for asylum seekers from EU countries or the Schengen area and the rejection of those that cross the safer countries. These measures continue for the EU external borders, which play a central role in the current political discussion.

The CDU not only calls for a shorter period for the implementation of changes, but a holistic concept that is intended to consider the rights of asylum seekers in new dimensions. This includes, for example, the introduction of an unlimited exit of the exit for criminals and endangers according to detention. The priority of benefits in kind to cash benefits for migrants is also a topic that is much discussed. As the CDU emphasizes, the support of the weakest and humanitarian aid are the focus of this political reorientation.

views and reactions

At Friedrich Merz, the CDU has already taken the first steps to reform migration policy. Merz recently spoke out in Flensburg for a realignment to stop illegal migration. His speeches on the subject of security, both for the citizens and for the external borders of Europe, have been very well received. Prime Minister Daniel Günther von Schleswig-Holstein supports Merz and highlights the success of the CDU in his state, in particular with regard to the defense against Afd.

The choice of Jochen Steinkamp is more than one personnel; It stands for the realignment of the CDU, which faces the challenges of time. With its clear goals and a strong political orientation, he could steer the party in Oldenburg in a new direction. With all the political winds, the contractions, it remains to be hoped that Steinkamp has a good hand for the interests of the citizens.
