Micaela Schäfer and Julian FM Stoeckel, known from different TV formats, break the path and join the CDU. The former “Germany's Next Top Model” star and former jungle camp participant wants to use her fame to spread political messages and thus shows a surprising conservative commitment.

The motivation behind Schäfer's political commitment is clear. “I think it's important to show that you can vote. “I'm worried that so many people will vote for the AfD,” he said in an interview with “Bild”. The unemployment rate is one of his main concerns and he sees the CDU as a party, who also has this item on his agenda.The leader of the party is in favor of losing citizens' money and would like to lose benefits for people who are not willing to work – this line convinces Schäfer.
Micaela Schäfer does not give up working as an erotic model for politics
However, his membership in the CDU regional association Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf does not mean that he aims for a political career. “I will remain an erotic model,” asserts Schäfer. Your goal is to initially be active at the local association level and support the election campaign. Formerly a member of the SPD, Stoeckel now finds his political home in the conservative spectrum and sees no reason to resent CDU representatives who have previously opposed bisexual rights.
The CDU welcomes prominent party members
At a time when prominent departures from the CDU have made headlines – such as that of Sophia Thomalla – party members are pleased with the political commitment of Schäfer and Stoeckel. Their support is especially appreciated in view of the upcoming European Parliament elections. “Through them, I get to know the cultural landscape better,” said Vice Chair Judith Stückler.
