The recent participation of CDU politician Saskia Ludwig in a Hungarian think tank event has sparked controversy within her party. The event, organized by the Mathias Corvinus Collegium, is closely linked to the right-wing government of Viktor Orbán.
Ludwig’s presence at the event was particularly contentious due to her meeting with Alice Weidel, leader of the far-right AfD party. This meeting has prompted the CDU parliamentary group to distance itself from Ludwig, highlighting the party's strict stance against any cooperation with the AfD, as outlined in their incompatibility resolution.
The CDU leadership has emphasized that this resolution is binding for all members, underscoring the party’s efforts to maintain clear boundaries between their policies and those of the AfD. Despite the backlash, Ludwig defended her participation, citing the importance of free exchange of ideas in a democratic society.
However, her actions have raised questions about potential alliances and the party’s internal dynamics. The incident highlights the ongoing challenges faced by the CDU in navigating its political relationships and maintaining its ideological integrity in an increasingly polarized political landscape.
