What the Christian must swallow everything

Conscription exposed - get out of nuclear power - to introduce a kind of minimum wage: The CDU 2011 is almost unrecognizable. Angela Merkel as party chairman and Chancellor of the base seems to be convincing and a lot at the convention in Leipzig. Nor do they have enough charisma?

Barely four years ago was the first cornerstone of the CDU's identity - the conservative image of the family: the husband is working, the woman takes care of the children at home. Ursula von der Leyen, that had just recently moved into the Cabinet Merkel said, this picture of the battle. The Family Minister von der CDU pushed himself here against the outcry of their own party members. Persuasion had to do it, especially in older members. Their argument: It would not matter, questioning existing life forms in question, according to the motto "All in good time."

The working mother of seven with the conservative-bourgeois aura appeared as front woman for kindergarten places and parental benefits. With the goodwill of party leader Angela Merkel grabbed von der Leyen, the traditional family picture in the dustbin of the CDU - and conceded the same time from a traditional SPD position.

There are no right or left wing politics, was only right and wrong, von der Leyen's justification against those in the party, accusing her of betraying the. Acted similarly in Merkel's second term, Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg. In response to the austerity of the Finance Minister of Defense was full of energy, go to the army to the stuff. Some of the structures, Guttenberg breathed, nor the spirit of the Cold War. Because something has to change.

CDU and CSU swallowed the olive-colored toad

The plan of the popular politician CSU: The suspend conscription and shrink the Bundeswehr in historic proportions. A tough one for the "party of the army" - that has always understood the CDU. Where to stay, despite the grandiose speech performances of the dashing minister doubt him Merkel jumps as the head of the sister party to the page: "Our basic principle is that the CDU has always been the party of the internal and external security, has thus obviously not changed, the army of the 21st . century must provide for external security as well as the armed forces of the 20th century did. "

CDU and CSU swallowed the olive-colored toad. As Guttenberg's successor, Thomas de Maiziere later presented the list of base closures, they met with sour, especially local politicians of the CDU. But in the meantime the party leadership had already made the next change of course: the phasing out of nuclear power, presented by Merkel Fukushima itself had changed its stance on nuclear energy, the physicist.

Energy systems: decision overnight

The nuclear disaster in Japan had coincided with the heyday of the Landtag election in Baden-Wuerttemberg. An unholy amalgamation, in which Merkel decided overnight to the newly adopted life extension of Germany's nuclear plants to overturn and to promote the accelerated shift to renewable energies.


To make the exit quickly, Merkel had to think several committees. A broad dialogue in the party they came not. Instead, she referred to the "social discourse" and rejected a requirement of the party's grassroots membership survey from strictly. "It's not a yes to Yes or No. I think we were always in agreement - that says our basic program - that nuclear energy only a bridge technology and that we want to get into the age of renewable energies. "

Sun made from Merkel democratic impulses of their insecure party members. And it seems to go even further, because the chairman has even bigger plans: for example, abandoning the tripartite school system. Related to this is the end for the main school for the CDU has always been sacrosanct. Education minister and party vice Annette Schavan tried to enforce the new sleight with a mixture of calm and print: "Dissolve No one has its main school, but everyone contributes to the educational responsibility to know where his main school is in ten years That means he must!. they evolve. "

Minimum wage to date a stimulus word

The party base should be allowed to vote at the forthcoming party congress this time about it. But this topic is superimposed again by the next possible U-turn: the minimum wage. This provoked emotive word yet on any CDU General Secretary a vociferous total rejection. So also, three years ago for the then incumbent, Ronald Pofalla ". A uniform statutory minimum wage destroys jobs, he is not suited to combat poverty in Germany permanently."
