CDU defends controversial AfD brochure amid fierce backlash
Dennis Radtke, head of the CDU’s labour wing, has rejected criticism from the AfD over a controversial party brochure. He described the publication as an honest account of the AfD’s own statements and policies.
The AfD’s response to the document has been sharp, but Radtke remains unfazed by their objections.
Radtke defended the brochure by insisting it contains only direct quotes from AfD sources. He called it a straightforward presentation of facts, adding that the party’s reaction was painful but unsurprising.
When asked about potential legal threats from the AfD, Radtke remained calm. He pointed out that Germany operates under the rule of law, where anyone—including the AfD—can pursue legal action if they believe they have grounds. Still, he showed no concern over the possibility of a lawsuit. His stance was clear: the CDU stands by the content, and the AfD’s criticism will not change that.
The brochure continues to circulate despite the AfD’s objections. Radtke’s comments suggest the CDU has no plans to withdraw or alter it. For now, the dispute highlights the deep political divide between the two parties.
