Munich (dpa) - CDU boss Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, CSU boss Markus Söder and JU chairman Tilman Kuban have sworn the union to a tough fight against a possible green-red-red alliance in the federal government.

"It will be a tough election campaign, and it is about a very fundamental decision on direction," said Kramp-Karrenbauer on Sunday at the Junge Union's (JU) digital Germany day.

Söder warned against a «back to the day before yesterday» if green-red-red should become reality.

And Kuban said the Greens, the SPD and the Left Party wanted to fulfill the “dream of the left Disneyland”.

Kuban was confirmed with a clear majority as chairman of the CDU and CSU youth organization for two more years.

He received 83.8 percent of the vote.

There were no opposing candidates.

The proportion of women on the JU federal board rose to around 41 percent in the end.

Kramp-Karrenbauer, Söder and Kuban warned the Union urgently against lulling itself into a false, deceptive security in the face of good survey results.

If the Greens saw a chance to appoint the Chancellor, "then they will do it in every possible constellation," said the outgoing CDU chairwoman.

That is why the Union must become as strong as possible.

Everyone has to do their best to win the election campaign in the end.

“In the next election year we will not be elected for what we have achieved for this country in 15 years with Angela Merkel at the helm, but we will be elected for what we have on offer for the next 15 years, how we want to shape the future . "

She and Söder also named climate policy as a very central topic.

Söder warned: "Politically, you don't stay number one in Germany just because you've already been or because you'd like to be."

There will be a "blink of an eye" final in the federal election in autumn 2021.

“Some think black and green would be nice.

But you have to be careful that you don't wake up with a different model in the end: namely with green-red-red, ”said the CSU boss.

And what this would mean for the country, "everyone can imagine".

Kuban warned with regard to the Greens, the SPD and the Left Party: "If you have even one vote in parliament on September 26th, then you will take action and make your dream of the left-wing Disneyland come true."

He added: "Sorry, but Red-Red-Green is so badly positioned that even Schalke 04 would be ashamed to send such an eleven onto the field."

He accused the Greens of having a "disturbed relationship with the rule of law and science" and urged them: "Finally stop your do-gooder's moral club."

Kuban also warned that, despite current polls, the Union should not feel like it was in a false sense of security, even if it is currently well ahead of the Greens and Social Democrats.

Kramp-Karrenbauer, Söder and Kuban are now finally relying on clarity for January as to who will be the new CDU chairman.

"We will decide at the meeting of the federal executive committee on the 14th that we will hold the party congress in January," said Kramp-Karrenbauer.

"And I think the last few weeks have shown that this is also the right thing to do and that it is necessary."

Ex-Union parliamentary leader Friedrich Merz, NRW Prime Minister Armin Laschet and foreign policy specialist Norbert Röttgen are running for her successor.

In a member survey, the CDU youngsters at the JU had advocated Merz as the new CDU boss with a large majority - with a 20 percent turnout.

Söder said: "I would only have been interested in what the other 80 percent would have chosen."

Söder again opposed the election of the joint candidate for chancellor "too early".

"That must be decided together."

He called for a time horizon of three to four months, "let's say until March".

"We mustn't make a wrong start."

In addition to Kuban, the entire federal board of the JU was elected on Sunday.

9 of the 22 posts were held by women.

Among other things, Heike Wermer, member of the NRW state parliament, was re-elected as one of the four deputy federal chairmen.

The JU had already announced in advance that in the future more women than before should come to the train.

The proportion of women on the executive board rose to around 41 percent - Kuban called this a "smart and good sign".
