Security in the focus: CDU new year reception in the Grafenschloss Diez!

On January 13, 2025, the 27th New Year's reception of the CDU Rhein-Lahn and the Diezer CDU took place in the Grafenschloss Diez. The event, which was planned on Sunday, January 12, 2025, attracted numerous visitors and devoted itself to the explosive topic "Security".

Hesse's Interior Minister Prof. Dr. Roman Poseck, who was invited as a guest of honor, spoke about the growing concerns of the population regarding the external and internal security. In particular, the geopolitical tensions as a result of the Ukraine War and the latest attacks in cities such as Mannheim and Solingen shaped the discussion. Poseck emphasized the important role of the citizens to actively participate in the upcoming Bundestag election and thus make their voice for security and stability.

program and speaker

The program of the New Year's reception started at 2:00 p.m. after a champagne reception and included a greeting by Matthias Lammert, the district and district chairman as well as state vice president, and Maximilian Müller, the chairman of the CDU local association Diez. In addition to Poseck, Harald Orthey, the CDU candidate for the Bundestag constituency 203, and Lammert himself.

The event not only offered the participants the opportunity to hear the speakers' insights, but also the opportunity for a personal exchange in a snack. The admission began at 1:30 p.m., whereby the prior registration was required online, which clarified the high demand.

background and security debate

The discussion about security is more current than ever given global uncertainties. Leading security experts, including Bruno Kahl, President of the Federal Intelligence Service, warn of possible Russian attacks on NATO until the end of this decade. This highlights the need to rethink and strengthen civil protection in Germany after sirens were broken down in the past as a result of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the associated relaxation.

In addition, the congress "Security policy - challenges for civil protection in Germany" will again show how important an adapted civil defense is on November 14, 2024 in Berlin. Various countries such as Sweden and Israel act as a model for the reconstruction of effective civil protection structures, which was also discussed at the event in the Grafenschloss.

The high number of places and the commitment of members and guests illustrate that the topic of security takes up a central point in the political agenda and sustainable solutions are required.
