“ntv early start” from Seeon: Dobrindt also calls for cabinet reshuffle

According to CSU leader Markus Söder, regional group leader Alexander Dobrindt is now calling for changes in the federal cabinet. “We need a new dynamic,” he says in the “ntv early start”.

In the CSU, the will for changes in the federal cabinet is growing. After party leader Markus Söder, regional group leader Alexander Dobrindt is now calling for the rejuvenation of the federal cabinet. “If you have the will to work together by 2021, then you have to be willing to renew something every now and then. This includes this suggestion,” said Dobrindt of the RTL / ntv editorial team. “I emphasize that this coalition is working better than its reputation,” said the CSU politician. “But we also know that we need a new dynamic. And if you go into a second half, you have to make sure that this dynamic comes and that there is a modernization.”

Dobrindt rejected the accusation that the CSU could act as an unpredictable factor in the coalition because of the sudden demand for changes in ministerial posts. “We are the safe partner in this coalition and we remain true to our principles.”

Söder had called for the federal government to be reformed for the second half of the legislative period. “It’s like in football: In the second half, you will find new and fresh strength. We should therefore rejuvenate and renew the government team by the middle of the year. Because there is a need for optimism,” he told “Bild am Sonntag”. Söder did not mention the names of ministers who, in his opinion, would have to be exchanged. But he said, probably referring to the department of CDU economics minister Peter Altmaier: “For the Union, the topic of innovation and economy must come first. In international comparison, Germany is beginning to fall behind the USA and China. We have to make significant gains and stay at eye level with the world. “

As of today, the CSU MPs in the Bundestag will meet for their traditional opening exam in the Upper Bavarian monastery in Seeon. A number of decision papers that have already become known propose, among other things, a new attempt to expand the number of safe countries of origin for asylum seekers. The grand coalition had failed with a similar advance in the Federal Council in countries with left and green participation. Defense Minister and CDU chief Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer is expected to attend the exam on Tuesday.
