CSU's Manfred Weber criticises CDU's firewall stance

Original: manfred weber

Manfred Weber, vice-chair of the Bavarian CSU, has described the CDU's policy of refusing cooperation with the Alternative for Germany as a "giant burden" for the Union parties. His remarks, reported by WELT, expose internal tension over the so-called Brandmauer, with Weber suggesting the strict position is straining the centre-right alliance.

Why now: Weber's public break with the Union's official line on excluding the AfD has sparked debate about a split within the centre-right.
