CDU Gladbach is optimistic about the coming elections and projects!

On October 30, 2025, the CDU Gladbach held its regular general meeting in the “Zum Annemie” inn. Chairman Peter Blum opened the meeting with a look back at an eventful year, which was marked by a successful election campaign for Mayor Jan Einig and the federal election. In this context, Blum emphasized the importance of the upcoming election campaign for the state elections in spring 2024.

At this meeting the summer festival was also mentioned, which took place at the end of June and will be held again next year. There were also reports about the current situation in the Maria Himmelfahrt daycare center, the elementary school in Gladbach and the situation at TuS Gladbach. A decision was made that the annual general meetings should take place in the spring.

Economic challenges and political strategies

The CDU is currently facing a tense economic situation in Germany. Growing challenges such as high energy prices, bureaucracy, a lack of skilled workers and a high tax burden are causing concerns for citizens. In order to meet these challenges, the party is calling for a change in policy that follows the principles of the social market economy and focuses on competition, growth and prosperity. The CDU wants prosperity to be created for everyone and has outlined concrete measures for this in its election program. These include the modernization of labor law as well as relief from income taxes and social security contributions.

The other range of tasks includes promoting innovations and technologies, especially in the areas of digitalization and artificial intelligence, as well as reducing bureaucracy in order to support small and medium-sized companies. A central concern is the creation of a new basic security that introduces the principle of “promoting and demanding”, which should particularly benefit families and pensioners.

Central topics in the 2025 election program

The election program of the CDU and CSU for the 2025 federal election focuses on central issues such as prosperity, security and social cohesion. It aims to create a Germany that its citizens can be proud of and sees the “Policy Change for Germany” initiative as an opportunity to overcome current challenges and secure the country's future viability. This includes a comprehensive plan to promote growth and social stability.

Social and societal policy includes, among other things, pension reforms, adjustments to the health system and family support measures. In addition, education policy is being addressed comprehensively, in particular to promote the digitalization of schools and to improve equal opportunities. Climate policy will also be brought into focus, with clear support for renewable energy and sustainable agricultural practices.

With these measures, the CDU would like to make a contribution to the country's internal and external cohesion and strengthen national and international cooperation. The details on these and other topics can be viewed on the CDU's official website and paint a clear picture of the desired change in political direction in the coming legislative period.

[Blick-aktuell] reports that at the general meeting there was a clear focus on the political work and the challenges of the members, while the priorities for the future political direction were clearly outlined.

In summary, it can be seen that the CDU Gladbach is well prepared for the upcoming election campaigns and wants to look to the future with a clear political vision, supported by the comprehensive strategy of the CDU and CSU for a Germany that is well positioned.
