Potsdam (dpa / bb) - Jan Redmann remains CDU parliamentary group leader in the Brandenburg state parliament.

The 41-year-old received 13 yes-votes with one abstention in the regular election on Wednesday, which corresponds to an approval of around 93 percent if the abstentions are not included.

Redmann emphasized the cohesion of the total of 15 MPs: "After a bumpy start, the group has grown together into a good team," he said, according to the announcement.

“The election results are an expression of that.

Together we will make the handwriting of the CDU clearly visible in the Kenya coalition. "

The CDU parliamentary group calls for the corona restrictions to be relaxed, subject to conditions.

It makes sense to approve the opening of restaurants in the open air, for sales areas, sport and cultural events in the open air, with a distance or with a mask.

"For example, the" Click & Meet "option should be allowed for retailers from now on," says the position paper on which the parliamentary group agreed.

This means visits by prior appointment.

The group also urges the expansion of corona tests in schools and high-risk economic sectors.

In January Redmann was elected to the federal executive committee at the CDU's online party conference.

He took over the leadership of the CDU in the state parliament in September 2019 in a crisis of the party shortly after the state election and was elected unanimously.

At that time Ingo Senftleben had resigned as head of the country because of a power struggle between the conservative and the liberal wing and no longer took up the position of parliamentary group leader.

The CDU fell to 15.6 percent in the state elections after 23 percent in 2014.

As parliamentary managing director, the parliamentary group confirmed Steeven Bretz in a closed meeting on Wednesday with 14 yes-votes.

The previous deputies also remain in office: Danny Eichelbaum received 13 yes-votes with one abstention, Frank Bommert 12 yes-votes and one no-vote with one abstention, Kristy Augustin 11 yes-votes and three no-votes and Björn Lakemacher 11 yes-votes -Votes and one no with two abstentions.
