The annual meeting of the Junge Union – the youth organisation combining the CDU and the CSU and the Council of Germany the Deutschlandtag took place in Münster, North Rhine-Westphalia – Germany. The congress started on the 16th of October and ended on the 18th of October. There were over a thousand participants in the congress, ranging from different fields. Representatives from the media, international guests and members from the German Bundestag honored the youth organisations congress. MGERB was represented at the congress by Pavel Hristov – Councillor in the Municipal Council of Varna and Coordinator of MGERB Varna. During its 60 year old tradition this was the first time that the congress was held in Münster, know for its high life standard.
The congress started with a symbolic farewell to the Big Coalition, which governed Germany in the past four years. The discussion focused on the results after the elections, on future politics and targets and priorities for the next mandate. The delegates insisted that the youth interests need to be defended in the future shaping of the new governments, as well as in other fields such as social politics, finance and national security.
A highlight in the discussion was the fact that the young need to ensure the progress of the democratic system and secure it from radical extremism in the political field in the left as well as the right side. There was a special focus on the fact that the government needs to continue to integrate the young in the democratic system.
A big disappointment was the fact that Mrs. Angela Merkel - Chancellor of Germany, could not attend the congress, because she had to hold important meetings to discuss the forming of the new federal government of Germany. This was a moral blow to the spirit of the participants and showed in their proceeding speeches, as the Junge Union was a big factor in the election campaign. Despite this the Junge Union received the support of many well know politicians such as Mr. Edmund Stoiber – Honorary Chairman of the Christian Social Union and past Minister President of Bavaria, Ole von Beust – First Mayor of Hamburg, Prof. Dr. Otto Wulff – Chairman of the Senior Organisation of the CDU and Laurent Schouteten – President of YEPP.
Another important question, which was discussed were the predicted election results which were 42% and the real value which was 33%. The phenomenon of the elections was the German Pirate Party, which received 2% of the cast votes which were taken away from the CDU/CSU.
As an end to the congress the delegates voted the Münster Declaration. The target of the declaration was to show the disapproval of the compromises which were made during the government of the Big Coalition, the strong disapproval of the policies of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) and stating the strong course of government which needs to be applied by the new government. The declaration also focuses on a simpler tax policy, as well as lower and more realistic taxes, rebuilding the labour market, insuring better opportunities for the young, control on the federal budget, reducing bureaucracy and better social and health care policy.
All of the representatives and guests to the congress left impressed by the German hospitality and professionalism. Pavel Hristov received invitations to attend future meetings in Russia, Lebanon and other countries.
