Fulda – The Fulda CDU district association confirmed the district chairman on Friday (March 6th) during its party conference. Full-time district councilor Frederik Schmitt continues to lead the Christian Democrats.

Frederik Schmitt speaks of a good mood among the around 200 delegates who came together in the Künzell community center to elect the board of the Fulda CDU district association.

Frederik Schmitt remains chairman of the CDU district association
Schmitt emphasized in his speech: “It is clear to us: It makes a difference who governs. We, the CDU in the Fulda district, stand for solid economic activity, investments in the future and we have our homeland in our hearts.” The district uses its resources sparingly. This creates scope for action for cities and municipalities.
They would have to pay 24 million euros more to the district every year if the district levy was in line with the Hesse average, Schmitt calculated and added with a view to the last electoral period: “At the same time, we are investing in schools, broadband, district roads and infrastructure. We have invested more than 150 million euros in schools in the district since the last local elections. That is the equivalent of 90,000 euros every day in the last five years.”
The old and new district chairman also discussed customs and volunteerism, which the CDU believes is worth particularly strong support. “Volunteering is the glue that holds our society together and our region is a stronghold of volunteering and it should stay that way,” emphasized Frederik Schmitt.
After the elections, Schmitt was not only pleased with his own result, which strengthened and motivated him to “continue to work with full force for our homeland”. He also congratulated the new district board and emphasized that he was grateful that so many people were so committed here. He viewed the large presence of the delegates as a good signal for the final spurt Local election to start. This will take place next Sunday, March 15th.

But with these two we were able to honor two local politicians who are closely connected to the Fulda district. That's why it was important to us to carry out this honor at the district party conference,” Schmitt told the Fuldaer Zeitung after the party conference.
Bernd Woide joined the CDU in 1986 after his military service, Fritz Kramer as an 18-year-old in 1956. “In these years it was Konrad Adenauer and his integration into the West that made it possible for the Federal Republic to develop in peace and freedom. 1986 represents the time of Helmut Kohl, who was able to create German unity on this basis under the condition of freedom,” said the district chairman, placing the entry years in the context of German history a.
