New hope in Pirmasens: Florian Bilic chosen as CDU member!

Florian Bilic has recently been the newly elected MP of the CDU in the Pirmasens constituency. In February 2023 he won the direct mandate for his party and thus took a significant political step. Bilic was surprised by the vote against his party leader Friedrich Merz, but sees the result as a necessary part of democracy. Despite these circumstances, he is optimistic that Merz will be Chancellor in the second attempt and emphasizes the strong support for him within the party. In a recent parliamentary group meeting, Merz received a standing ovation from the members for his commitment, which impressively underlines the inner strength and cohesion of the CDU. The Rheinpfalz reports that the CDU is apparently looking for ways to strengthen its internal unit.

Bilic has already had some successes in his political career. He has been a member of the City Councilor Pirmasens since 2019 and has important positions there, including the chair of the auditing committee. Before his election to the Bundestag, he was also chairman of the Junge Union Pirmasens. It is particularly noteworthy that he ran again for the Bundestag in 2025 and was chosen directly with 33.3 percent of the first votes. In doing so, he replaced the SPD MP Angelika Glöckner, who moves into parliament via the state list. These successes contribute to the dynamic development of the CDU in the region.

significant career

bilics academic and professional career is impressive. After graduating from high school at the Immanuel-Kant-Gymnasium Pirmasens in 2013, he completed a commercial training. In 2018, he ended his dual studies at the IHK Palatinate and the Baden-Württemberg University of Baden-Württemberg Mannheim with the Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration. In 2021, a Master of Business Administration followed in the marketing management department at the Kaiserslautern University of Applied Sciences.

in parallel to his academic training, Bilic worked in various professions, including as a deliverer at Deutsche Post AG and as a lecturer. These diverse experiences shape his approach in politics, especially with regard to practical economic issues. His active role in local politics and in the young Union shows his commitment to the interests of the younger generation and the party as a whole.

political challenges

The CDU is currently facing considerable challenges because the coalition negotiations with the SPD are complicated. Topics such as migration policy, the civil allowance system and tax reforms are central and could lead to tensions. Deutschlandfunk emphasizes that the Bundestag has recently approved one billion-dollar debt package, while the Union and the SPD are preparing for the formation of the new Federal Government.

The negotiations reflect the different views between the parties, in particular with regard to the design of migration policy and the financial relief for the middle class. The CDU will be required to find a uniform line to enforce its political goals. In view of these challenges, Bilic's political experience and his commitment is crucial to pave the way for a sustainable and future -oriented policy in Germany.
