The Saxon Union wants to make Saxony fit for the future and strengthen the state's economy as the backbone of its development. On Tuesday, the state association presented an economic strategy for the period up to 2035. The paper has the motto "Appreciation instead of value creation" and includes ten points on areas such as energy policy, securing skilled workers, education and greater internationalization of companies.
Economic policy must once again have top priority, said CDU Secretary General Alexander Dierks: "Unfortunately, we are missing this priority on the part of the federal government." Germany has the weakest economic data of all industrialized nations. If Germany only grew at the average rate of industrialized countries, it would have additional tax revenues of around 20 billion euros. This makes the relevance of economic policy clear. It is not irrelevant who makes economic policy in the country, not everyone can do it.
According to Dierks, the aim is to make Germany competitive in the long term. Energy policy is also crucial for this. Companies need more relief. "We are seeing how Germany not only meets European standards, but goes one better." More freedom is needed again. In general, the CDU is concerned with strengthening entrepreneurship.
