The youth organization of the CDU and the CSU selects the lower Saxony Tilman Kuban for the new boss – he is against Stefan Gruhner from Thuringia. Kuban had earlier attacked in an unusually rustic speech, not just political opponents, but also much of his own party. His election is a further sign that the CDU began its cutting of the umbilical cord of Merkel. the By Robert rossmann, Berlin Robert rossmann

do not follow The old and the new-found CDU – Chairman may, in many ways, similar to their relationship with the young Union. Angela Merkel has been able to do with the conservative positions and the Helmut-Kohl-devotion to the JU never much. The organization, the presence of mostly young men. On the last German state Parliament of the young Union contended that in the JU-top not a single woman sits. It is quite possible that Merkel has in mind when your Visit at the JU always be, that the GDR had at least one advantage: it has saved her from a youth in the JU. The fall of the Berlin wall, Merkel was 35, the age limit of the young Union.
Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, however, has a classical socialization in the party’s youth behind. Among other things, she was Deputy JU-Boss in the Saarland. You know what kind of sound you scores on Germany days. In 2015, she started her speech with the remark: “JU means that you can party hard, and you can work hard,” the young socialists could, however, celebrate or work. Kramp-Karrenbauer earned for that remark each lot of applause. It was, incidentally, the German Parliament, Merkel is due to their refugee policy was violently attacked.
this Saturday was loaded with the Young Union in a German state Parliament, this time in Berlin. Because of the previous Chairman, Paul Ziemiak in December, CDU-Secretary-General had to be elected, a new JU-chief. Merkel is CDU-Chairman – and did not, therefore, on a visit. For Kramp-Karrenbauer had their first appearance as party leader at the JU. But the new man at the top, probably even surprised her.
Tilman Kuban, 31, was the JU-German state Parliament as the new Chairman of the young Union’s elected. He comes from lower Saxony. His Motto: “Storm and erdverwachsen”.

In the race to the Ziemiak succession had long been considered the Thuringia, Stefan Gruhner as a favorite. However, after a candidate’s speech, which occurs in its force and rusticity of a ash Wednesday was Tilman Kuban elected as the new JU-chief. The low axis received 200 votes, Gruhner just 119.
“Kevin, finish your studies, then you will be able to afford your own apartment”
Gruhner was the more experienced candidate, he is for almost a decade, the country Chairman in Thuringia, since 2014 he sits there in the Parliament. But the Young Union’s preferred candidate, who staged himself as a candidate of the base against the Establishment – and in his application speech, attacked not only political opponents, but also much of his own party.
should not It be, “the defence Minister has more children than flying aircraft,” scolded the Kuban than the seven mother of Ursula von der Leyen. He promised “to fight to the last bullet” against the Upload Filter, which supports Merkel’s government. He attacked the “Toyota guys from the environmental assistance”. And he cried into the hall: “If Left to stand in our country and for the toilets of the school of the third to 312. Sex fight”, then the Young Union would be against it. The Juso-Chairman Kevin Kühnert he recommended because of its sympathy for the expropriation of housing companies: “Kevin, finish your studies, then you will be able to afford a home of their own.” At this point, the previous JU-chief Ziemiak should have flinched, because the also has no degree.
the Kuban, however, required a much harder grip in the Inner and refugee policy. In Germany not welcome, who would not keep to the laws – after all, the Sharia law, applicable here, the 31-Year-old said. He had already signed in October of 2015, a fire letter from the CDU-politicians against Merkel’s asylum policy and was among the first in the CDU, which were clearly against the Chancellor. His election to the JU-Chairman is another sign that in the CDU, the time of the cutting of the umbilical cord, Merkel has begun.
Kuban is currently the head of the legal Department in the trade associations of lower Saxony. But he is running for the European Parliament – his list is so good, that his choice is considered to be safe.
Prior to the election of Kuban had adopted Ziemiak of the delegates. The 33-Year-old level since September 2014 at the head of the Association. The biggest challenge in its term in office, the Balancing of the differences in refugee policy, which had triggered the fall of 2015 in the young Union. The JU is the joint youth organisation of the CDU and the CSU. In his speech, Ziemiak of crisis reported meeting at airports, because even in the young Union, the danger of division had passed.
The strongest applause during his speech Ziemiak received, as he praised Kramp-karrenbauer to be in the debate about their carnival joke about intersex is not “caved” – and he criticised the fact that Mesut Özil had invited the controversial Turkish President uncritically as a guest of honor at his wedding, although he had, as a German national player as a role model. So Ziemiak revealed, however, that he does not seem to follow the national team with a particularly great interest, because Özil doesn’t play for the Eleven.
If Ziemiaks successor Kuban as a new JU-acts-in-chief as it makes its application to speech suspect, is likely to have the CDU in the top of it with the JU in the future, significantly heavier than before. In her appearance on the German Landtag, Kramp has asserted-karrenbauer, she wanted a JU, the do steam. This is something that could stand as a CDU-Chairman of “good”. As Kramp-Karrenbauer said, had not Kuban spoken. And a lot of thought, Gruhner could win. It came different.
there is now also a woman in the JU-top: Heike Wermer was elected Vice-Chairman. At least this would have also liked Angela Merkel.
