CDU demands party resignation of Maaßen | What is the Union of Values?

The CDU presidium has given controversial former head of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution Hans-Georg Maaßen the ultimate call to leave the party by Sunday. He had again come under massive criticism in recent days for statements he had made. With the criticism of Maaßen, a controversial grouping that locates itself close to the CDU/CSU has once again come under scrutiny: Maaßen had himself elected on Sunday with 95 percent of the votes as chairman of the arch-conservative Werte-Union.
