CSU's Ambitious Political Agenda

The Christian Social Union (CSU) is setting its sights on reshaping Germany's political landscape by focusing on key issues such as economy, migration, and security. With the launch of their 'Mission Union' on February 23, the CSU aims to position itself as the force capable of restoring order, which they claim has been disrupted by the current traffic light coalition government.

Party leader Markus Söder emphasizes the need for a conservative shift, advocating for stricter migration policies and enhanced social policies like the 'Mütterrente'. The CSU seeks to distinguish itself further from the CDU by rejecting a potential Black-Green coalition, instead championing a strong conservative government under Friedrich Merz.

The CSU's agenda includes proposals for more family support through increased child benefits, tax breaks, and a tougher stance on internal security. They also aim to reverse several projects initiated by the current government. By positioning itself against 'wokeness' and left-green ideals, the CSU intends to play a significant role in future coalition negotiations, advocating for policies that align with their vision for Germany's future.
