The CDU Presidium has canceled its planned retreat in Magdeburg. Minister President Schulze pushed through the cancellation, even though the meeting was meant to boost the election campaign.
The meeting of the party leadership in Magdeburg was originally intended to give the CDU election campaign in Saxony-Anhalt additional momentum. Instead, the cancellation was now carried out at the instigation of Minister President Schulze. Nevertheless, the party announced that the Chancellor will support Schulze in the election campaign. The decision was made public on June 5, 2026. The retreat had been planned as a central element of the campaign.
