Bring in more EU funding and keep critical infrastructure from being sold
The CDU commits to the European Union and the single market and wants to bring more EU funding to Hamburg. Critical infrastructure, for example in the port, is not to go to opaque investors or foreign state-owned companies.
The CDU supports the European Union. It wants to bring more EU funding to Hamburg. This money should improve weaker neighborhoods and transport. Important facilities, like those in the port, should not be sold to foreign companies. The CDU is thinking mainly of China and Russia.
The platform points out that Hamburg, as a trading city, has benefited especially from the single market's four freedoms. A dedicated funding strategy is meant to help develop structurally weaker parts of the city and to invest faster and more in mobility. The CDU justifies protecting critical infrastructure by pointing to global competition between systems, above all with China but also with Russia.
