(GermanPolicy.com) – On the Deutschlandtag of the Junge Union, the CDU chairman Armin Laschet acknowledged responsibility for the bitter election result of the CDU-CSU. Laschet warned against becoming “shrill” and “clumsy” during the term in the opposition. He also warned the Union parties to show unity, not to succumb to populism, and thus to remain an anchor of seriousness. It is important to work for social cohesion and to fight extremes, Laschet added.
