The CDU’s ingratiation with the red-green, “woken” zeitgeist has brought the party a new loss: one of the few CDU celebrities outside politics, actress Sophia Thomalla, has announced that she is leaving the party. Under protest.
As she announced only now, she had already contacted the Union politicians Julia Klöckner as well as Dorothee Bär on September 16. To protest in advance against an event in the “Ladies Circle” of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group in the Bundestag.
But the two CDU ladies ignored the actress and did not react. And, as planned, had Shelby Lynn perform in Wednesday’s “Ladies Circle.” On the topic of violence against women. The young Irish woman who got the whole Rammstein sex affair rolling with her accusations against Thomalla’s ex Till Lindemann.
However, the responsible prosecutor’s office in Lithuania concluded that Lynn’s allegations were not true. But the CDU ladies Bär and Klöckner didn’t seem to care. Bär was already known for her pandering to the red-green zeitgeist. For example, she left the Erhard Foundation because Roland Tichy was chairman there.
Actress Thomalla now wrote on Instagram that she felt confirmed by the silence of the CDU politicians “that a second opinion is not allowed”. And further: “If I question the Metoo debate, which in my opinion has gotten completely out of hand, am I an antifeminist or misogynist? If I questioned some non-understanding measures at the end of the Corona period, I was a Corona denier and aluhut carrier.”
“This is my way of informing you that I am leaving the CDU after 12 years,” the 34-year-old wrote on the social network. And added with regard to Irishwoman Shelby Lynn, “This lady is now on an official stage in our political house, thanks to our politicians, fighting for women. So also for me.”
She continued, “To invite a woman who has had to experience actual and real violence – that, in my opinion, would be the right way to give this so important topic an honest presence – without attracting cheap attention.” The actress accuses the responsible Union women of dealing “for a quick and cheap applause from the woken Berlin bubble” with people “who are far from any relevance”.
What a slap in the face for the party and for party leader Friedrich Merz. He had just invited to the presentation of his plans for a network of female local politicians next week with the words “we must become more modern and more female as the CDU of Germany”.
Even the formerly conservative “Welt” exposes in its report on Thomalla’s resignation that it fully adopts the red-green framing. She writes: “The proportion of women in the CDU is far below that of the Greens, the SPD and the Left – namely around 27 percent. And in the current parliamentary group in the Bundestag, the CDU and CSU only have just under 24 percent women, while in the Greens and the Left, female deputies are now in the majority. So the CDU has a women’s problem.”
From the point of view of red-green ideology – yes. From a normal point of view, it is not the gender of party members that is decisive, nor their hair or skin color, but solely their competence, and perhaps their experience. Because if the proportion of academics or civil servants in the Bundestag, for example, is too high, that can really be a problem.
The “Welt” further writes that because of the CDU’s supposed “women’s problem,” it does not look good “when prominent, female members turn their backs on the party.”
No, dear colleagues!
This does not do well because of an imaginary “women’s problem” – but in general! Especially when a popular actress, presenter, model and influencer not only turns her back on a party. But rather, like Thomalla is now accusing the CDU of an “ever-increasing loss of reality” that it no longer wants to support.
Internal chat groups in the party show how much the CDU is concerned about the issue. Among other reasons, this is because “once again, one has to ask whether the CDU always has a happy hand in its approach to sociopolitical issues,” as the “Welt” puts it very diplomatically.
The Thomalla case is new evidence of the misery of the once conservative CDU after 16 years of Merkel and under a fickle leader Merz. Instead of taking independent positions and opposing the red-green zeitgeist, the CDU/CSU is panting after it. The once proud party has degenerated into a bedside rug of red-green politics. And there is no improvement in sight, at least not at present. Yet it would be sorely needed for our country and for our politics.
It depends on you – on your support! 1000 thanks!
ZDF has had my deciphering video about Markus Lanz’s methods blocked three times on Youtube. The shot backfired. I uploaded it to the free internet on Rumble. It has been viewed a whopping 6.5 million times. Apparently because the algorithms don’t slow down “critical” content like they do on YouTube. One reader calculated that this meant that more viewers had seen my critical analysis of the program than the program itself. My decrypted video on the ZDF’s diatribe about Hans-Georg Maaßen has also been clicked 6.2 million times on Rumble. That gives you courage! But it also costs a lot of time and energy – in this specific case, a night shift. I am all the more grateful for your support. Without them, my work would not be possible, because I receive neither compulsory fees nor tax millions, nor do I have a billionaire sponsor. For this I am independent!
Currently (again) donations via credit card, Apple Pay etc. are possible – despite the Paypal block: via this link. Alternatively via bank transfer, IBAN: DE30 6805 1207 0000 3701 71. For those who have little themselves, I expressly ask you to keep what little you have. I am all the more pleased to receive support from all those whom it does not hurt.
