The CDU in Saxony is calling for a wolf hunt. At the very least, CDU politicians are pushing for a reduction of the population in the state. SPD top candidate and Social Affairs Minister Petra Köpping reacted immediately on Friday to statements from the CDU, which were reported by "Sächsische.de" on the same day. According to the report, the CDU wants to make it a condition for the coming legislature that the number of wolves is reduced by a third each year. "We need sensible, non-ideological solutions when it comes to wolves. It must become easier to remove wolves that pose a danger," Köpping also demanded. However, fixed quotas would make no sense. The term removal refers to shooting.
"If there is an objective problem, it must be possible to remove the wolf quickly and unbureaucratically. This is not the case right now. That's why we need to change it," explained Köpping. At the same time, she warned against polarization: "We have to solve the problem objectively. It is detrimental to social cohesion to open up the next topic of conflict with the most provocative demands possible. According to the motto: the main thing is conflict. You can perhaps annoy the Greens with this, but the vast majority of Saxons want a pragmatic policy here. And that's what we should do."
