Heimatunion for selective cooperation with the AfD

The conservative Saxon CDU grassroots movement Heimatunion can imagine cooperating with the AfD. "Selective cooperation with the AfD on specific issues should not be taboo if the interests of a large majority are at stake. Of course, this cannot be a coalition," explained Heimatunion leader Sven Eppinger. It is better to do the right thing with the "wrong people" than the wrong thing with the "right people". At the moment, the CDU is following the opposite motto. However, the aim is to do what is necessary and right in terms of content.

"Germany finally needs framework conditions for an economic upturn - as already formulated in the election manifesto as part of "CDU pur". In order to push through this urgently needed policy for the country, the CDU must be prepared to accept the agreement of all parliamentarians, regardless of which parliamentary group they belong to," emphasized Eppinger. For months, he said, we have seen that many of the urgent reforms are as impossible with the SPD as with the Greens or the Left.
