Wiebke Winter: New wind for the Bremen CDU and more security!

Bremen, Deutschland - Frischer Wind blows through the Bremen CDU parliamentary group: Wiebke Winter, only 29 years old and from Lesum, was elected as the new chairman. This sets a remarkable accent because she is the first woman at the head of the Bremen CDU parliamentary group. The Weser-Kurier received 22 out of 24 voices and thus clearly won the trust of their group colleagues. She succeeds Frank Imhoff, who lost a power struggle for the management.

In an interview with Buten and Binnen expressed its ambitions to challenge mayor Andreas Bovenschulte. It has set itself the goal of making the CDU the strongest force in parliament in the upcoming citizenship elections in 2027 and is aiming for at least 30 percent of the votes.

new challenges and goals

Winter criticizes the current Senate as lame and without ideas. In her opinion, there is a lack of motivation among those responsible. "We need new swing to advance Bremen and Bremerhaven," she says. The topics of security, economy and mobility are particularly on their agenda. It also calls for better equipment from the police to increase the security in the city.

The Bremen CDU has experienced some leadership changes in the past. Winter not only takes on the role of the chairpersons, but also continues the work of Frank Imhoff, with whom she works closely. In addition, she is careful to further expand the CDU's social media presence and looks after the channels itself.

women in management positions

A greater focus on the representation of women in management positions is a clear concern, especially in Bremen. A current study shows that despite progress, the women's quota in top management positions of municipal companies, which is on average 19.7 percent, is still very expandable. In Bremen, the proportion of women in management positions is 28.9 percent, which is a pleasant number for a city in the north, but is required. Promoting women in top political positions could make a positive contribution to equality, while cities like Offenbach are preceded by 56.5 percent in leadership.

The challenges for Wiebke Winter are clearly outlined: it is important to help the CDU to be new and at the same time strengthen the voice for women in leadership roles. In the coming years it will be shown whether their visions will become a reality and whether they can initiate the hoped -for change in Bremen.
