2019 is going to be different. “The year of renewal” is called the CSU. And that starts with the traditional Winter conference of the national group, in the upper Bavarian monastery of Seeon. Here are the members of the Bundestag swing first – for 2019. The demand for a state-owned company for mobile telephony, in order to close the radio holes, in Germany, finally – this is a proven CSU-move, to bring himself into the conversation and to begin the political year.
And thereafter the operating temperature remains high. It is the examination of the parliamentary group to follow in mid-January and right after the special Convention on 19.
