Key FactsHoppermann seeks answers after Rausch’s election in Saxony-Anhalt

Oct 7, 2026 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: abendblatt.de

AfD politician Tobias Rausch was elected president of Saxony-Anhalt’s state parliament in a secret ballot.

Rausch received more votes than the AfD and BSW had previously announced.

An earlier internal CDU parliamentary-group vote produced abstentions or votes against him.

Hoppermann called for clarification but said the secret ballot prevented determining where further votes came from.

For Germany's CDU, it is clear that supporting an extremist party or a government led by one is not compatible with the values of our party.
— Franziska Hoppermann, CDU General Secretary, said this to FUNKE MEDIEN.

Summary created with AI assistance · Source: n-tv.de

Franziska Hoppermann cited 21, 23 or 25 cents per litre as possible relief to be pursued in early October.

She rejected Lars Klingbeil’s windfall tax, saying it would not directly ease consumers’ burden from high fuel prices.

The ZDF pollsterbarometer puts the CDU at six percent in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and 20 percent in Berlin, narrowly behind Die Linke.

Key FactsMerz appoints Amthor to coordinate federal-state relations

Jul 30, 2026 · Reading time: ~30 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: merkur.de

The 33-year-old CDU politician is moving from his post as parliamentary state secretary at the Digital Ministry to the Chancellery.

According to the F.A.Z. and reports from state-government circles, relations between Merz and the state premiers had already been strained for some time.

Merz said Amthor personally knows the heads of the state chanceries in all 16 German states and had already worked closely with the states.

North Rhine-Westphalia and the CDU-led states of Saxony and Thuringia praised Amthor, while a state chancellery led by the Social Democrats also expressed approval.
