Dessau-Roßlau (dpa / sa) - Only three women are on the proposal of the CDU party executive for the list for the state election in Saxony-Anhalt in the first 20 places - this is now also causing criticism from federal politics.

“The list shows that the existing procedures are inadequate,” said the federal chairwoman of the women's union, Annette Widmann-Mauz, the “Spiegel”.

"If we want to become more attractive to women, we have to overcome deadlocked structures."

This requires “clear and binding regulations in the statutes,” said the member of the Bundestag.

There are currently only two women for the CDU in the state parliament in Magdeburg - and 28 men.

On Saturday, a party congress in Dessau-Roßlau is to put up the candidates for the state elections in June.

Even the regional association of the women's union had criticized the man-heavy nature of the list proposal.

"In no other state board of the CDU is the struggle for the occupation of women as exhausting as in Saxony-Anhalt," said the state head of the women's union, Sabine Wölfer, with a view to this a few days ago.

Secretary General Sven Schulze, on the other hand, had stated that the list was not drawn up according to women, but according to regional quotas.

"This week, too, we had constructive discussions with representatives of the Women's Union," he told the German press agency.
