Good to know from the elected leader of the party that is the biggest (maybe second biggest) kiss ass to Russia.
What was it, elected with 95%? Putin would be proud.

But I’m sure CDU would be happy to make Deutschland Ticket even more expensive so it’s not a real alternative to cars and we still need petrol imports

His party literally has posters on the street stating that “Europe must win. Ukraine must win.”

I don’t care what they say, I care what they do. Last time I checked EU was buying more petrol from Russia then help provided for Ukraine and a big part of the is Germany.

You are very mistaken.

The top buyers of Russian energy include:

Hungary: 416 million euros ($488m) Slovakia: 275 million euros ($323m) France: 157 million euros ($184m) Netherlands: 65 million euros ($76m) Belgium: 64 million euros ($75m)

How much of Europe’s oil and gas still comes from Russia?

In 2021, Russia supplied 45% of the EU’s gas and 27% of its oil. By 2024, these dropped to 19% and 3%.

But that is normal among german political parties. Usually, these positions are negotiated and agreed upon beforehand, actually relevant counter candidates are rarely on the ballot. The actual election itself is more like a ritual.

Edit: the comment I answered contained the statement that “putin would be proud”.
