Long-Time CDU Member Fritz Schramma Exits Party Over Local Leadership Concerns
Fritz Schramma, a long-standing member of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), has left the party after nearly 50 years. His decision follows concerns about the conduct of the local Cologne CDU branch, led by Serap Güler.
Schramma praised the CDU's work at the state and federal levels under Hendrik Wüst and Friedrich Merz. However, he expressed dissatisfaction with the local Cologne branch, stating that it 'was not being led' effectively by Güler.
Schramma's departure comes after he criticized the reassignment of leadership positions within the faction to the same incumbents following the local elections. He felt that this hindered the party's progress and renewal. His exit serves as a call to action for younger members to chart a new course for the party.
Fritz Schramma's departure from the CDU after nearly five decades marks a significant moment for the party. His concerns about the local Cologne branch's leadership and the lack of renewal in leadership positions highlight the need for change. The party now looks to its younger members to drive this change and shape its future.
