Political commitment

Serap Guler, a member of the Christian-social wing of the CDU, is “inclined to a liberal understanding of Islam ” (she is a member of the CDU employee wing, CDA ). Outside the party, too, she is committed to Catholic social teaching , e.g. B. in the Kolping Society : "The fact that this is a Catholic institution should not prevent someone of other faith from supporting this solidarity work."

Integration policy

The petition of the former Hessian CDU state boss Roland Koch against dual citizenship feels Serap Güler still as heavy mortgage . She thinks that young people with dual nationality will have to opt for a passport in the future as part of the option regulation “no longer appropriate”. In contrast to churches, charities and trade unions, all parties have “completely overslept” the integration policy in the last few decades, criticizes Guler.

Güler is in 2018 a major role in her capacity as Secretary of State Integration in NRW in the initiative of the NRW Integration Ministry to ban an Islamic headscarf in schools for religionsunmündige girls (ie under 14 years). Güler's statement in particular attracted public attention that "putting a headscarf on a young girl is pure perversion. That sexualises the child. We have to take a clear stand against this." Guler went on to say that her own mother opted for the headscarf as an adult and left her the choice: "Every young girl should have the opportunity that I was given."

Family policy

Serap Güler speaks out in favor of the childcare allowance .

Educational policy

She demands language training even before starting school. She sees language as a prerequisite for social participation. She describes the school consensus as an important political sign of the end of the decades-long struggle over the school form. She speaks out in favor of denominational religious instruction and against ethics instruction . Serap Güler is also committed to the recognition of foreign professional qualifications.

Protests in Turkey 2013

Serap Guler was in Turkey during the protests against the authoritarian government policies of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan . She criticizes Erdogan and his government, among other things, for wanting to “impose their opinion and their way of life on the population”.

Gray Wolf Controversy

In the discussion about the infiltration of German parties by the Gray Wolves, Serap Guler stated at the request of the newspaper Die Welt that she did not consider membership in the CDU to be compatible with an open commitment to the Gray Wolves or membership of the " idealists ". According to a report in the German daily newspapers Die Welt and the FAZ , Güler attended two events at which gray wolves activists advertised themselves. “The German Turkish Journal”, on the other hand, evaluates these representations as an “embarrassing smear campaign by 'Welt' and AABF against MdL Serap Guler”.
