Regina Laska wrote that CDA chairman Dennis Radtke (CDU) referred to Gerhard Schröder's recent appearance in Moscow in the Tagesspiegel as a "case of moral bankruptcy" and called on the SPD to expel the former chancellor from the party. Laska agreed with him. Schröder was too ill to testify before a parliamentary inquiry but fit enough to celebrate Vladimir Putin's birthday in Moscow and accept a new supervisory board position in Russia. According to Laska, the SPD state chairpersons in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg are now also demanding a new expulsion procedure. The SPD district of Upper Palatinate voted unanimously in favor of it on Saturday. Schleswig-Holstein's SPD leader Ulf Kämpfer stated that the paths of the party and Schröder had parted ways many years ago. Laska asked why Schröder was still a member of the SPD. Previous expulsion procedures had failed in 2022 and 2023. It is not only about Schröder's differing stance on Russia policy, Laska wrote, but also about his demonstrative loyalty to Putin, who has been waging a war of annihilation against Ukraine for more than four and a half years. She also pointed out that SPD foreign policy expert Ralf Stegner had praised Schröder's visit to Putin. Pierre Orthen, chairman of the SPD local club in Baden-Württemberg's Leutenbach, publicly questioned whether this was in line with the responsibilities of a member of the Bundestag's Foreign Affairs Committee. Laska wrote that Stegner had held talks with Kremlin-affiliated representatives in Baku in April 2025. It apparently concerned the future of the Petersburg Dialogue, which Schröder co-founded with Putin in 2001. In June 2026, Stegner was said to have praised Schröder's connection to Putin; now he had attended Putin's birthday party. Laska asked what these contacts had achieved for peace in Ukraine and wrote that anyone justifying such talks as efforts for peace must also be able to explain what they had accomplished. #Schröder #Ukraine #SPD (translated)

"In North Rhine-Westphalia, the CDU is certainly still a people's party. If we do not learn at the federal level, the decline will continue unabated," Radtke told the "Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger," referring to the black-green state government in Düsseldorf. #CDU #FriedrichMerz #Wahlen (translated)

Too sick for the investigative committee, but fit enough for Moscow, Putin, and a fresh load of rubles. Burnout, but a new job. Miracle healing a la Rasputin with Gerhard Schröder. Dennis Radtke, the head of the CDU's social wing, also referenced Schröder's health status. #Schröder #Putin #Kritik (translated)

If it turns out that CDU representatives have elected the AfD candidate as the President of the State Parliament, I expect the party to initiate an expulsion procedure against them.

Der Spitzenkandidat der CDU in Berlin fordert einen islamischen Religionsunterricht an Schulen. Diese Leute sind in der Union keine Einzelfälle. Wüst, Radtke und Günther dürften ihm zustimmen, Söder würde eigenhändig den Halbmond auf der Frauenkirche montieren, sofern es seiner politischen Karriere hilft. Mit dieser Partei wird es es niemals eine „Migrationswende“ geben. Alleine 2026 werden wieder weit über 100.000 Visa für den Familiennachzug ausgestellt. Die CDU ist die Partei der Islamisierung. Sie muss unter die 10%-Marke rutschen. #CDU #Islamunterricht #Migration

Was ,bitte, hat sich dieser Herr Radtke gedacht, als er in die CDU eingetreten ist? Oder andersrum gefragt: Was ist aus dieser Partei von Konrad Adenauer und Helmut Kohl geworden, dass sie einen lupenreinen Sozialisten wie Dennis Radtke in höchste Gremien der Partei aufsteigen lässt. Wer solche Parteifreunde hat, braucht keine Bärbel „Bullshit Bas“ mehr. #CDU #Politik #Radtke
