Sandra Weckert: CDU must change or continue to lose!

The political landscape in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is changing, and Sandra Weckert, who ran for chairmanship of the CDU local association in Waren / Seenlandschaft on April 5, 2025, is right in the middle of it. In the election, she faced the old chairman and was unable to convince despite a well-thought-out concept that relied on communication, reach and credibility, especially through the use of social media. Weckert suffered defeat with a vote of 5 to 20, but that was far from the end of her political fight. How openPR reports, she most recently presented critical insights into the development of the AfD faction, which grew from 4,144 to 7,510 followers in Waren, while the CDU stagnated, at a board meeting of the CDU district association on October 27, 2025.

Weckert, who is known as a speaker and mentor for education, youth and social responsibility, put her finger in the wound. In their opinion, the CDU is not losing because of the AfD's successes, but because of internal weaknesses. She spoke about urgently needed topics such as the future, opportunities, migration and education, reaching an audience across party lines. These views are not only important for the CDU, but also reflect the concerns that cdu.de currently describes: The country is struggling with high energy prices as well as burdensome bureaucracy and a shortage of skilled workers, while at the same time citizens are showing a strong interest in a policy change that creates prosperity for all.

The call for change

The economic situation in Germany is tense, and the CDU is also feeling this. Weckert strongly criticized the lack of plan and courage within the party. This dissatisfaction coincides with citizens' desire for a system in which performance is rewarded, which, according to the CDU, is also urgent for the future of medium-sized businesses and family businesses. The CDU's election program proposes numerous measures to improve the economic environment, including modernizing labor law, easing income taxes and promoting innovation.

Weckert is known for her distinctive voice within the CDU base and calls for more transparency, especially in view of the far-reaching changes that society now needs. She compares her situation with the fairy tale “The Emperor's New Clothes” and calls for the structures that have previously stood in the way of the CDU to be broken down. It is clear: There is something going on in the party and the members have to face reality in order to find their way back to their old strength.

Future prospects

In addition to the internal challenges that Weckert highlights, there are also extensive discussions in the CDU about social issues such as migration and education. These aspects are crucial for the future of the party and reflect the needs of an increasingly diverse society. Weckert is thinking about new forms of learning and engagement and has launched the “48 Kings” project, which aims at innovative educational approaches.

With these thoughts and initiatives, Sandra Weckert remains an interesting figure in the political scene in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and will certainly continue to be in the public eye in the future, while denouncing the necessary changes that the CDU urgently needs to survive in today's world. Your votes are necessary to get the CDU back on track and to offer citizens a policy that is based on credibility and real progressiveness.
