“Strengthening families. For a better Germany.”

...says the poster with the Muslim family, which probably evokes associations in certain circles.

Where does the photo come from?

The people in the photo are Eaman-Amy Saad Shebley, her husband and their three children. The family's photo hit the press when a United Airlines pilot asked the family to leave the plane "for safety reasons" after the mother asked a stewardess about special seat belts for her children.

“Maybe the CDU simply used the photo?”

There are several reasons against this:
1. The poster cannot be found on the official website of the CDU , where you can see all the election posters from the current European elections and elections from previous years.

2. The design of the poster is wrong.

Here we see the logo on the fake poster:

And here is the logo on election posters in recent years:

It is noticeable that the fake poster was based on an old election poster as far as the logo is concerned, but the election slogan “ Successful together” is missing. “.

In addition, quotes and slogans were written on an orange background, but in the original the font is always in italics.

Conclusion

The poster pictured above is a fake. Such a poster cannot be found in the list of all election posters on the CDU's online presence, and features such as font and logo differ from the original posters.
