An online review of the hotel that the CDU booked for its board meeting in Heidelberg says that it is “incredibly outdated.” Then there are phrases like “Grandma’s bedroom” and “a complete renovation is urgently needed”, which is why the accommodation was a delicate choice for the meeting of the CDU leadership this weekend: All the brass and cherry wood, the carpets and wallpaper breathe the spirit of one Fading grandeur, and the association that it’s a bit like their party, is of course something they can’t use in the CDU at the moment. A good two years after the debacle in the federal election, the party considers itself to have largely been completely renovated. The direction for the new year? Up, what else!
