“I agree,” says Markus Söder. “I agree,” said Manfred Weber. Annegret Kramp cart Builder designs for arms export policy is simply nothing to add. Who wanted to make between the CDU Chief, and the two men of the CSU differences, not on this Monday in Berlin also on its cost.
The adoption of the first common European election programme in the history of the Union parties offers the ideal backdrop to demonstrate once more the new Unity. The is meant seriously and is still on shaky feet. Because secretly everyone: The day of the election white on 26. May is also a Test to see if the peacefulness is worth it.
A kind of cultural break
in fact, the sibling solidarity, especially for the CSU, a kind of cultural fracture. The Bavarians have, for Franz Josef Strauss’ times are of little value on a sense of community, but, on the contrary, at every opportunity on originality rapped out. Especially in election campaigns, especially in Europe, election campaigns, the CSU sought their own ways and their own issues, and most specifically against the “big sister” party. Before the great strife of “limits” and “rejection” had to serve for a banal foreigner toll. The smaller CSU could only claim in the sibling rivalry was in Munich is practically a Dogma.
Kramp-Karrenbauer is historically correct, as you noted on Monday in Berlin “Station”, this “very special day” was anything other than of course. Söder is the basis of the difference from the last European elections in forestry: in 2014 it went only “to the European under-wood,” this time it is for All the marbles. “It feels really good,” says CSU boss. In the joint meeting of the members of the management Board, there was only a single extended discussion of the special question, whether in the case of subsidies for agriculture, not small farms that would have to be. What happened then also.
Despite the warmth of all is, of course, clear that the waiver of any delimitation is very due to special circumstances. The three-year duration of the feud between Angela Merkel and Horst Seehofer was so heavy that only a similarly fierce hug, the reversal credibly. Which in turn is only possible because of Kramp-Karrenbauer and Söder may discard as the new Chairman of the old Ballast. The CSU has an interest, if the CDU supports your top candidates Weber, does the Rest. The plate in question, who have moved for this new Unity to the left or to the right, you can parry Söder also easy: “We have toward each other.”
so Far, the Together pays off. The “Operation Orban” has worked, for example, smoothly – Kramp-Karrenbauer, Weber and Söder together ensured that the Fidesz party of Hungary from the European people’s party is temporarily suspended. Also demo kopisch rewarded with a slight upward trend in the Commonality. Although the Union is total in the current polls is not better than in the last European elections. Of the 35.2 percent who were 2014 as bad, but according to the 32.9 percent in the General election today as a success.
Positive polls
the youngest of The “Bayern-Trend” for the European choice, reads even more enjoyable. 41 percent would be for the CSU, which is approximately the same result as five years ago. But the distance to the state election with their embarrassing 37.2 percent is even more pronounced than in the Federal comparison. The AfD has been stagnating in your Landtag result of around ten percent, the effect on CSU-strategists doubly reassuring. Finally, the voters expect the European elections often as a favorable opportunity, relatively without consequences let off steam.

the Union actually got off lightly from the day of the election at the end of may, is likely to keep the peace. Söders image change from the bully to the caring father of the country needs time to be credible; Kramp-Karrenbauer needs on the way to the Chancellery, closed the back cover. But carved in stone, the new Union is not. A lot depends on this first Test in the European elections, on the parliamentary elections in the autumn in the East. The go wrong, are one of the leading Christian Democrats pretty sure that the CSU returns to old tactics back: “Then our friends return quickly to the delimitation,” says one.
