CDU in Chemnitz: Linnemann relies on election victory for Saxony

In the run -up to the Saxon state election, the CDU Secretary General, Carsten Linnemann, formulated a clear goal: the CDU wants to become the strongest political force in Saxony. During an election campaign event in Chemnitz on Friday evening, Linnemann left no doubt that the election victory was a top priority for his party. "The CDU has to win, Michael Kretschmer has to win. We play here for victory," he emphasized, emphasizing the leadership qualities of the Saxon Prime Minister.

This choice is extremely important for the CDU because it tries to defend its position against the AfD. The political landscape has changed significantly in recent years, and the AfD has been close to the CDU in many surveys. In a current trend barometer from Forsa, which was published on behalf of the TV broadcaster RTL and NTV, it turned out that the CDU was 33 percent with 31 percent at 33 percent. These figures illustrate the intensive competition and urgency to establish the CDU as a leading force in Saxony.

competition and leadership claims

Linnemann's sharp criticism of the incumbent Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) could reflect the CDU strategy of positioning itself as the party of clear leadership. He described Scholz as someone who leads Germany "aimlessly" and called for a clear mission statement from his side. This is exactly what the CDU seems to be striving for with Kretschmer at its top, which is considered the "representative of people in the truest sense of the word" among the population. Linnemann praised Kretschmer for his beliefs and his ability to take a clear position on what could be crucial for the voters.

The Saxon Union not only plans to win the election, but also to rule under a clear agenda in the next five years. The Saxon CDU general secretary Alexander Dierks announced that the main goal was to position the CDU as a strong force. He referred to numerous election promises that have been successfully implemented in recent years, including the hiring of 1,000 additional police officers and the doubling of the master bonus to 2,000 euros.

dierks also explained concrete suggestions for the future, such as a mandatory preschool year for all children and the introduction of a Saxon border police. Such initiatives could help win voters who are looking for specific measures to change Saxony positively.

The competition between the CDU and the AfD is particularly relevant on election Sunday. In view of the close surveys, it is essential for the CDU to mobilize its voters and to communicate their promises clearly and understandably. The CDU wants to compete with "clear positions" and "clear edge" in order to present itself as the reliable party that can shape the future of Saxony.

The entire election campaign reflects the uncertainties and fears of the voters, while at the same time the achievements of the CDU are highlighted in order to regain the trust of the population and to consolidate their own position. The outcome of the election will not only be of great importance for the political orientation, but also for the federal political conditions.
