Party guide 2026
The Christian Democrats emphasise human dignity, family, community, solidarity and subsidiarity. Healthcare, family policy, older people and public safety are among the party’s clearest profile areas.
Five policy areas at a glance
Economy
Lower taxes on work and pensions, especially for low and middle incomes, and stronger incentives to work.
Migration
Continued restrictive migration, protection of the right to asylum and mainly safe legal routes through resettlement, combined with clear integration requirements.
Public safety
Criminalising participation in gangs, tougher punishment and more police powers, alongside more police and preventive cooperation with schools and social services.
Healthcare
State responsibility for more equal and accessible care, needs-based funding, prevention and high patient safety.
Energy
Longer operation of existing reactors and new reactors, more nuclear research and a market model rewarding dispatchable capacity; wind and solar also complement the system.
