Politics, positions and criticism

Video presentation (2014)

According to media reports, the CSU state list for the 2013 federal election - with more favorable list places for Launert and other women - only came about after the list version originally planned by the party executive, which contained a lower proportion of women in the front, more promising places, had been anonymously leaked to the press .

In the federal election in September 2017 , she won the direct mandate in the constituency 237 Bayreuth . In 2019 she took over the district chairmanship of the CSU Bayreuth-Stadt from Michael Hohl .

Greek sovereign debt crisis

Silke Launert voted in the Bundestag in July 2015 against further negotiations with Greece for a third rescue package . She was the only CSU member of the Bundestag without a direct mandate who voted against the negotiations. Already in February 2015 she voted against a continuation of the financial aid for Greece and was one of the ten "deviants in the CSU":

“As a parliamentarian, I am responsible to my voters and they will not understand if we continue as before. We now have to give the left-wing to right-wing extremist government in Greece a stop sign that it cannot just go on with our aid. "

Pension contribution increase for childless

She calls for childless employees to pay a higher pension contribution than employees with children, and said among other things: “[Parents] have often given up a lot in the interests of their children. The intergenerational contract can only work through their upbringing and maintenance. It is not about punishing childless people, but rather about bringing justice into the pension fund, with everyone making their own contribution. Incidentally, the Federal Constitutional Court also sees it that way. "

"I think it is fair if parents who raise the contribution payers of tomorrow pay a lower pension contribution than childless."

Care allowance

Launert was initially critical of the care allowance for small children, as she assumed, "[...] we are pushed back into this corner: to the stove". She is now one of the proponents. In her opinion, the care allowance is well received and is therefore a success. She also found it unfair if parents who look after their children at home did not get any money. The state would spend € 1,000 per month on childcare places. During the lawsuit, she expressed her optimism about the constitutional lawsuit against the law; she is convinced that the care allowance does not violate the principle of equality .

In July 2015, however, the Federal Constitutional Court ruled that the care allowance violates the Basic Law, since it is not the federal government but the federal states that are responsible for care allowance.

Change of marriage and family

At the end of 2015, at a symposium of the Hanns Seidel Foundation, Launert found " a fundamental change in German society with a view to marriage and family " and confirmed to the Federal Constitutional Court that "it had changed society with its various judgments on marriage and family". She caused a sensation with a statement about the type of family , in which she quoted the mother of an employee: “In the past, people used to say anti-social, today it's called patchwork. Today's woman is independent. ""

Sexual assault on New Year's Eve 2015/16

Silke Launert (2013)

After the sexual assaults on New Year's Eve 2015/16, she described the perpetrators as “people from a culture in which equality does not apply”. A change in the basic attitude of the perpetrators by crossing the border to Germany is not to be expected. The refugees would have to be distributed differently and the rights of women in other cultures should be strengthened.

"I'd rather pay a few billion for the refugee camps instead of having all the problems in my own country."

The Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration

At a meeting of the Union parliamentary group in early November 2018, Launert demanded a secret vote by the Union parliamentary group on the pact during the discussion on the UN migration pact. When the parliamentary group vote was rejected, she left the meeting room with the words: “Don't be surprised if there are only 100 people here in three years”.

In a podcast interview with Gabor Steingart , Launert explained her reaction. She was “disappointed” that the Union members “never” could vote on “this attitude” on the migration issue in the past three years. Through her work as a public prosecutor, she is “not naive” about the UN pact. “I see dangers that we have also experienced in practice,” said Launert. The risks of immigration were "not mentioned at all" in the document.
