The author accused the CDU of using offices and positions to provide for its members. As evidence, he cited 25 lost CDU seats in Saxony-Anhalt, 12 in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and 68 nationwide, with the latter relating to current polls. According to his portrayal, state parliament representatives received between 10,000 and 11,000 euros monthly, federal parliament representatives up to 17,000 euros; additionally, there were up to 6,000 euros for office equipment and 1.24 million euros in party funds for every million voters. GFrei.News also criticized travel expenses, retirement provisions, and opportunities for employees and stock trades that, in his view, were available to the representatives.
