Carsten Linnemann, the CDU General Secretary, expressed regret over the Union's vote alongside the AfD for a stricter migration policy in January. He believes the parliamentary session should not have occurred, as it intensified political polarization.
While he supports the legislative content, he insists that the Union should have focused on campaigning instead of convening for those discussions. Linnemann criticized the move, suggesting it mobilized opposition and contributed to the Union's disappointing 28% election result.
He emphasized the need for the party to shift away from migration discourse, redirecting its focus to economic issues and implementing quicker reforms. His comments highlight a desire for the Union to learn from past mistakes and strategize differently in future elections.
