Dresden (dpa) - CDU federal chief Armin Laschet has spoken out against polarization in the election campaign.
Politicians must also use American experience to lead an election campaign that “does not heat up society further,” he said on Monday evening after a board meeting of the Saxon Union, to which he had connected via the Internet.
He is convinced that "you can win elections with plain language" without polarizing.
According to Laschet, the CDU must lead an “all-German election campaign”, even if the conditions are different with a strong AfD in the east and strong Greens in the west.
It would be completely wrong to speak out to the AfD in order to win back voters: “That goes wrong.
It has always gone wrong. "
The CDU must clearly differentiate itself from the AfD and make it clear that their positions have nothing to do with the Union's image of man.
According to Saxony's head of government and CDU chairman Michael Kretschmer (CDU), Laschet succeeded in winning over the members of the Saxon party executive.
Among the Christian Democrats in Saxony, the sympathies up to the election of the chairman were mainly for Friedrich Merz.
Laschet is a person who stands for what unites, said Kretschmer: "This country no longer needs separation and striving, but people who can bring them together."

Laschet promised to incorporate the experiences of the East German states into his work as party leader and into the election program.
With a nationwide function, one must also have a nationwide view.
