The Bavarian-governing party, the Christian Social Union is adopting its digital strategy this week. Among other things, it calls for a digitally sovereign Europe, but some of the plans smack of national unilateralism. EURACTIV Germany reports.
With the German election year now up and running, every party initiative, every meeting, and every paper is viewed as part of the campaign.
This is also the case with the Bavarian sister party of the conservative CDU, the CSU’s, strategy meeting on Wednesday and Thursday (6-7 January). A draft resolution on the Bavarian conservatives’ “Digital Agenda 2021” was circulated in advance.
Thomas Duhr, vice president of the German Digital Economy Association (BVDW) eV, sees this as a “prelude to the federal election campaign.”
