Role in the Political System
Role in the Political System
Strategically, the KOK occupies the heart of the center-right political spectrum, serving as a dependable anchor for center and right-wing coalitions. Its role within the political system is that of a foundational force, strengthening institutions and actively advancing European integration. An inherent tension often arises from balancing its economically liberal wing with more value-conservative currents. Nevertheless, it remains the gravitational center for voters who favor pragmatic, market-oriented governance over left-populist or isolationist experiments.
