Business wing's sway over CDU ranks questioned

Discussion is focusing on the influence of the Mittelstands- und Wirtschaftsunion (MIT), the business-oriented wing of the CDU. Its parliamentary arm, the Mittelstand parliamentary circle (PMK), reportedly counts 166 of the 208 CDU/CSU members of the Bundestag among its members, and works closely with the MIT. The figures are being shared to highlight how strongly business interests are organised within the union parties.

Why now: The claim that a large majority of CDU/CSU lawmakers belong to a business lobby circle has struck a chord amid ongoing debates about lobbying influence in the Bundestag.
