Germany Turns Right: Conservative Faction of Christian Democratic Union Decides To Form New Rightwing Party – Against Immigration, Open To Working With Surging AfD
The political pendulum is Germany is swinging rapidly to the right, as the once stable spectrum of parties is splintering into a much more divided range of offers.
Now it does appear to be another choice on the right, after members of the Werteunion, or Values Union, a heavily conservative wing of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), decided on Saturday, at a meeting in Erfurt, to establish themselves as a new party.
Reuters reported:
“Members of the group gave Chairman Hans-Georg Maassen, in a closed party meeting in the city of Erfurt, a mandate by a large majority to initiate the founding of a ‘conservative-liberal’ party, according to a statement from the group.
