CDU/CSU meeting in Bad Dürkheim: On the way to the economic offensive!

An important CDU/CSU conference will take place in Bad Dürkheim from June 29th to July 1st, 2025. This event brings together around 100 participants, including leading representatives of the Union, and takes place at the Kurpark Hotel. The conference will be hosted by Markus Wolf, a member of the Bad Dürkheim state parliament, and Gordon Schnieder, chairman of the CDU state parliamentary group for Rhineland-Palatinate. The aim of this annual meeting is to enable non-partisan coordination and coordination at the state, federal and European levels.

What is particularly noteworthy is that the leaders of the CDU are meeting in Bad Dürkheim for the first time. This event is not only a platform for discussing economic policy issues, but also an opportunity to promote joint initiatives. The conference is driven by well-known personalities from business, including Markus Kamieth from BASF and Martin Brudermüller from the Mercedes-Benz Group.

The framework of the conference

The CDU/CSU Parliamentary Group Chairman Conference (FVK), which serves as a body for the self-coordination of the Union factions, plays a central role in organizing such meetings. These include the chairmen of the Union factions from the state parliaments, the Bundestag and the CDU/CSU group in the European Parliament. The FVK has a long tradition and the first meeting took place in Düsseldorf in 1956. This shows how important exchange and coordination within the Union are.

The regular meetings of the parliamentary group leaders are crucial for the development of cross-state initiatives and proposals in various policy areas. The FVK is currently led by Manuel Hagel, the CDU parliamentary group leader in the state parliament of Baden-Württemberg, since his election in June 2023.

Once a year, the major parliamentary group chairman conference is on the agenda, in which all CDU/CSU parliamentary group executives take part. These meetings last up to two days in one federal state and focus on important political issues that affect the Union.

The upcoming conference in Bad Dürkheim and the associated discussion on economic policy are eagerly awaited, as they could set the course for future decisions, both at the state and federal level. For the host Markus Wolf and his colleagues, it is an opportunity to efficiently communicate the Union's interests and develop strategies together.

Overall, this meeting provides a promising platform for Union dialogue and cooperation while actively addressing today's challenges.
