politics

In addition to his membership in the state parliament, Heym has been chairman of the CDU in the Schmalkalden-Meiningen district since 1995 and a member of the Schmalkalden-Meiningen district council since 1999. In the state parliament he is deputy parliamentary group leader and tourism policy spokesman for the CDU. Michael Heym is running for constituency 12 - Schmalkalden-Meiningen I ( Altkreis Meiningen , VG Dolmar and Benshausen ) in the Thuringian state elections . His constituency office is in the district town of Meiningen . In the state elections in 1999, 2004 , 2009 , 2014 and 2019 , he received the direct mandate with the most votes .

After Christian Carius resigned as President of the State Parliament, Heym ran for this office in November 2018. In the election there were 40 votes for Heym and 44 against him. The background to this failure were reservations against Heym based on statements that the red-red-green governing parties had perceived as right-wing populist . Birgit Diezel was ultimately elected as Carius' successor .

On the day after the state elections in Thuringia in 2019 , in which the left became the strongest force before AfD and CDU, he brought a possible cooperation between the CDU and the AfD into play. All options would have to be examined, including a coalition of CDU, FDP and AfD under certain conditions that he did not specify . Before the election, the CDU had ruled out a coalition with the AfD as well as with the left. A few days later, he clarified his statement and said that he would have no problem if the AfD tolerated a CDU Prime Minister. There is a “right-wing bourgeois majority”, consisting of the CDU, FDP and AfD, and thus the possibility for a civic alliance into which the AfD can be integrated if it moves. For him, the AfD is a "conservative" party. These statements also met with criticism in his own party. Among other things, several CDU politicians called for Heym to be excluded from the party. At the beginning of November 2019, however, he received support from 17 other CDU functionaries who demanded “open-ended” talks with the AfD. According to the Tagesspiegel, the majority of these are “Heym's confidants” and members of the “right-wing” union of values .

In the new state parliament, Heym was re-elected deputy chairman of the parliamentary group with eleven to ten votes in a vote against Christoph Zippel . On March 2, 2020, he no longer stood in the election of the parliamentary group executive.

further activities

Heym performs social and honorary functions as a member of the administrative board of Rhön-Rennsteig-Sparkasse and of the supervisory board of Thüringer Tourismus GmbH . He has also been President of the Oberhof 05 winter sports club since 2002 .
