Revision as of 06:56, 6 January 2024
The Values Union (German: WerteUnion) is a German registered association[1] that considers itself to be a "conservative grassroots movement"[2] within the Christian Democratic Union of Germany and the Christian Social Union in Bavaria, collectively known as the Union.[3] The Values Union was founded in 2017 and mostly included the CDU members seeking to reestablish their party's conservative roots. The CDU's executive committee did not recognize the Union as a party subdivision. The critics accused the Union to be close to AfD.[4]
It has been described as Germany's Tea Party.[5] The Values Union is no official party affiliation and its role within the Union parties is highly controversial.[2][3] It has around 4,000 official members.[3] In the 2018 leadership election the Values Union announced its support for Friedrich Merz.[6]
