We present our commitment for the elections to the European Parliament with clarity and audacity and without illusions or half-truths
3 May 2024
Here we present our commitment for the elections to the European Parliament. We do so with clarity and audacity and, as always, without illusions or half-truths.
Here are the proposals that we present to the people and the workers, what are the ideas and objectives that serve them, particularly at a time when so many new challenges arise. This is the moment in which the importance of having more MPs in the European Parliament is greater, providing a distinctive and courageous voice, who do not evade difficulties, and stand up to the great powers and the lords of money.
There, as here, we say what we do and do what we say

Here we are accounting on the work carried out in the scope of the European Parliament by those elected on the CDU slates.
Today we present the assessment of the work carried out, but our accountability is made every day, to the workers and the people.
We said that the workers and the people could count on the CDU, five years later, we have fully fulfilled the commitments made.
Those hearing us know, from their own experience, that our MPs were not closed in their offices in Brussels and Strasbourg.
