Failed in her attempt to run for the CDU chairmanship “not because of old, white men”: the Brandenburg local politician Sabine Buder

Sabine Buder was the only woman who wanted to stand up to the familiar faces Friedrich Merz, Norbert Röttgen and Helge Braun in the fight for the CDU chairmanship. But their party slowed them down. The Brandenburg woman speaks about disappointments and what needs to change in the CDU.
After the CDU’s defeat in the federal election, the veterinarian and local politician Sabine Buder decided to run for the chairmanship of her party. In advance, she was advised to secure majorities in advance. But she wanted to face the direct choice: “That is exactly the kind of policy that I don’t want to do: fiddling around until it fits,” said Buder.
Sabine Buder: “It wasn’t the old, white men”
Her failure has nothing to do with her gender, explains Buder. Rather, it was their inexperience – and the petrified structures within the CDU. She received little support, especially from female party colleagues: “It was not the old, white men who spoke out against my nomination. They were actually women who were not ready to go this way with me.”
In the podcast “Today important”, Sabine Buder calls for fundamental structural changes in the CDU: “This lack of courage to simply do things differently makes me worried.” From their point of view, it is questionable whether a single chairman can fundamentally renew the party – regardless of who gets the contract in the end. “The question is […]whether a general rethinking isn’t necessary. “

Well, already boosted ?!
Angela Merkel has proclaimed the goal: 27 million third-party vaccinations are to be administered by the end of the year. For whom is the booster vaccination useful? And do you have to be vaccinated for the third time so that you are still protected against Corona? Science journalist Martin Schlak says: no, not necessarily. The vaccination protection does not drop directly to zero after six months. “There the protection, especially at BioNTech, at Moderna and at AstraZeneca, is actually still quite high after six months, which is consistently in the age groups, at 90 percent.”
The Standing Vaccination Commission nevertheless recommends a booster vaccination for all vaccinated persons aged 18 and over, because this is the only way, as Martin Schlak also says, can the protection against a symptomatic course be increased significantly.
