Political positions

Together with 13 other members of the SPD parliamentary group, Hitschler voted in the Bundestag against Alexander Dobrindt's plan to introduce a car toll , because his demands had not been met and he therefore saw them as harmful to the people in his constituency.

During the refugee crisis, the group wrote a joint letter to Chancellor Angela Merkel in January 2016 . It calls on the Chancellor to adhere to a humanitarian and European course and to use her policy competence against cross shots from her own camp.

In the Syria crisis, Hitschler was one of the first MPs to speak out in favor of supporting allies in air strikes against the Islamic State . He criticized Russia for bombing targets other than ISIS.

Hitschler firmly rejected attempts by the CDU to deploy the Bundeswehr domestically in the future. Soldiers are not auxiliary police officers. The proposal does not contribute to security, does not save money and is not coordinated with the SPD .

As a member of the Berlin network authored Hitschler a position paper in which an " inquiry -Commission for the further development of parliamentary democracy in Germany" is required. Among other things, the number of MPs, the structure of the question time, the presence in the plenary, changes in the immunity of parliamentarians and the right to vote are discussed.
