CDU faction discussed sworn affidavit to identify AfD voters

Germany· Mitte@maesemedia26h ago

The claim

Geheime Wahl? Offenbar nicht geheim genug. Nach der Wahl von AfD-Mann Tobias Rausch (35) zum Landtagspräsidenten soll aus Reihen der CDU-Fraktion versucht worden sein, herauszufinden, wer für Rausch gestimmt hatte. Und zwar in Form einer eidesstattlichen Versicherung. Mehrere CDU-Abgeordnete bestätigten gegenüber BILD, dass diese Erklärung tatsächlich in der Fraktion vorgelegt und diskutiert wurde. Nach BILD-Infos soll der Vorschlag aber nicht von Fraktionschef und Noch-Ministerpräsident Sven Schulze gekommen sein. BSW-Fraktionschef Thomas Schulze (62) fordert wegen der Vorwürfe den Rücktritt

Background

Germany's political landscape is marked by the rise of the far-right AfD, challenging established parties like the CDU. This trend has led to increased scrutiny and internal tensions within mainstream parties regarding their members' interactions with and potential support for the AfD.

Why this is alpha

The CDU faction reportedly discussed requiring members to sign a sworn affidavit to identify who voted for AfD candidate Tobias Rausch as state parliament president. Mainstream news reports the CDU was pressured to sign a declaration, but the social signal specifies the nature of the declaration as an 'eidesstattliche Versicherung' (sworn affidavit) and the intent to identify voters.

Mainstream news reports that CDU deputies were pressured to sign a declaration after the AfD candidate's election. The social signal provides the specific detail that this declaration was a sworn affidavit intended to uncover who voted for the AfD candidate, a detail not explicitly stated in the news headlines.
