CSU leader Söder demands a "firewall to the left" from the Young Union

The fact that the Left, the Greens and the SPD have achieved a breakthrough in the soundings in Berlin, leads to fierce criticism at the "Germany Day" of the Young Union: CSU leader Söder calls for a clear demarcation to the left - under the cheers of the delegates. In his speech at the “Germany Day” of the Young Union, CSU leader Markus Söder called for a political demarcation of the centre parties to the left. Söder took the agreement between the Berlin left, the Greens and the SPD on coalition negotiations as an opportunity to call for a “fire wall to the left”. “If you talk about firewalls, then it takes rather to the left one,” said the Bavarian Prime Minister. "With such forces, Germany must not be identified at the top." Söder accused the left, among other things, of “deeply rooted anti-Semitism”. What happens in Berlin will be discussed “far too harmlessly” in public. “What is now is a new fall,” said the CSU chairman. Massive criticism of socialization plans The plans of a possible left-led government in Berlin to socialize large housing groups sharply criticized Söder. "Such absurd expropriation fantasies of socialists" would have to be ended, said the CSU chief. The law against socializations planned by the federal government must therefore be put on the way "as quickly as possible". Left, Green and SPD had reached an agreement in their exploratory talks on Saturday. A central agreement is the socialization of real estate groups with more than 10,000 apartments. Up to 16 billion euros are to be made available as compensation. The left had clearly won the election to the House of Representatives on September 20. The probes with Greens and SPD were overshadowed by accusations of anti-Semitism against individual left-wing members. Even before the start, a basic agreement was therefore reached, which laid down Israel’s right to exist as “non-negotiable” and announced sanctions for violations of it, including expulsions. Söder supports JU decision Söder backed a decision of the Young Union, in which, among other things, a red-green-red state government is called for to be excluded from information from the Federal Constitutional Protection and the Federal Criminal Police Office. This decision is "urgently necessary," he said. In addition, he brought an exclusion of Berlin from the state financial compensation into play: The money can have the others. But that's not the way we pay for it. Today's left is "a different left" than before, said Söder. It represents positions that are unacceptable. “The AfD has the goal to destroy us” The CSU chief pointed out that the electoral successes of the Left and AfD would also be perceived internationally. The whole world now reads what is happening in Germany and rubs its eyes. Extremists in front everywhere. Söder also clearly distinguished himself from the AfD again. The AfD aims to destroy us. It aims to make us an appendage. Its purpose is to divide us, he said. CDU deputies, who would elect AfD candidates in parliament, he suggested the party exit. You either have the backbone and say you want it. But if you are too cowardly to say that, then please leave our party, our shop. In the secret election of the state parliament president in Saxony-Anhalt had also voted deputies for the AfD candidate, who do not belong to AfD or BSW. Whether any from the CDU were there, can not be proven, because it was a secret election.
