At today's 64th district party conference of the CDU Dresden, the election manifesto for the 2024 local elections on 9 June 2024 was discussed and adopted.
In recent weeks, members have had the opportunity to submit amendments to the draft. There were over 120 proposals in total. The range of submissions was wide - from an "e" to be added to completely revised text passages, the members of the CDU Dresden participated actively.
In the run-up to the district party conference, the amendment committee, chaired by Jan Donhauser (Mayor of Education), evaluated the submissions and either accepted or rejected them. The 128 members present then decided whether or not they agreed with the commission on the respective point. If the proposal was rejected, the submitters had the opportunity to request a justification and were then able to make a counter-speech to convince the members present to vote against the commission's decision. Dr. Markus Reichel (Member of the German Bundestag and District Chairman of the CDU Dresden) emphasized that it was wonderful to see how the discussions proceeded in an appreciative manner despite the different points of view. "This is democracy in action," he said.
