Christian Hartmann continues to lead the CDU parliamentary group in the Saxon state parliament. At the constituent meeting, the 50-year-old was re-elected with 95 percent. "As the CDU in the state parliament, we want to continue the good work of the previous legislature. We need a strong CDU parliamentary group to ensure political stability, economic progress, internal security and a good education policy," explained Hartmannn afterwards. "Saxony is a great state and it is up to us how it develops over the next five years."
At the same time, Hartmann prepared for a challenging few weeks ahead. The political situation is more complicated than it was five years ago: "In the exploratory talks and coalition negotiations, we are laying the foundations for our political success in this legislature. I want to conduct these negotiations with the necessary pragmatism, political foresight and determination. It is already clear that a possible new coalition will not be a love match. We want a stable government for our home state."
