MP

Selle has been a member of the CDU since 1990. He is a member of the district board of the CDU in the Kyffhäuserkreis as well as in the medium-sized and business association of the CDU . For the CDU he sits in the district assembly of the Kyffhäuserkreis and is chairman of the committee for economy, agriculture, environment, tourism and infrastructure.

From November 10, 1994 to October 26, 1998 he was a member of the German Bundestag for one electoral term . He was elected for the Christian Democratic Union of Germany (CDU) through a direct mandate in the constituency Sömmerda - Artern - Sondershausen - Langensalza in Thuringia . In parliament he sat on the finance committee , on the committee of inquiry into GDR assets and on the study commission to overcome the consequences of the SED dictatorship in the process of German unity.

For the Bundestag elections in 2009 and 2013 , Selle was put up as a candidate by the CDU in the constituency of Kyffhäuserkreis - Sömmerda - Weimarer Land I and won the direct mandate there. As a member of parliament, he became a member of the German-Korean parliamentary group.

In the 2017 federal election , he successfully ran for the changed federal constituency Jena - Sömmerda - Weimarer Land I , from which the Kyffhäuserkreis had now left, while the city of Jena was added. This change became necessary because Thuringia lost one constituency in the 2017 federal election.

Political positions

Selle is a member of the conservative Berlin circle in the Union , which is also controversial within the CDU. A paper from the ranks of the Berlin Circle has been published calling for an end to the “moral blackmail” by climate research and a “farewell to German special targets” in the fight against greenhouse gases . He later denied this statement and described the concept paper as unfortunate. In addition to a less ideologically politicized debate, he only called for a move away from the fixation of climate policy on greenhouse gases.

Selle is also a member of the German-Korean parliamentary group, with which he toured North and South Korea in 2015.
