BERLIN (dpa-AFX) – The Thuringian CDU chairman Mario Voigt sees the implementation of a tax cut in the country with votes from the AfD as a measure to win back dissatisfied voters from the right-wing extremist party. “People are fed up with these political-tactical games. What they want is that their concerns are actually taken care of,” said the state parliamentary group leader on Thursday evening in the ARD “Tagesthemen” with a view to demands, generally none To make politics with the support of the AfD. “We have to convince people with content, then we can win them back from the margins.”
His parliamentary group had already introduced the bill to reduce the real estate transfer tax in December. With a view to the ruling minority coalition of the Left, SPD and Greens, Voigt added: “I would have liked everyone in parliament to take part.” Because it is a good signal in a difficult economic situation. He reiterated: “The CDU’s compass is clear: we do not work together with the AfD.”
His party is doing constructive opposition work, he said, apparently referring to the fact that the CDU has also supported the minority government’s projects.
He accused the critics of double standards: “The red-red-green minority government passed several resolutions in this parliament only with the votes of the AfD and thereby received the majority. And that shows that these double standards do not work.”/and/ DP/e.g
