German conservatives accused of abandoning democratic consensus

Original: Die Aufkündigung Die Union hat sich in den vergangenen Jahren Schritt für Schritt so weit nach rechts bewegt, dass selbs

Critics argue that Germany's Union parties, the CDU and CSU, have drifted step by step to the right in recent years, to the point where practices once considered part of the democratic consensus are now treated as subordinate to the party's own claim to power. The intervention, circulating widely on German-language social media, frames the shift as a breaking of established political rules, prompting debate over whether the Union is normalising cooperation with or accommodation of the far right.

Why now: Debate over the Union's rightward drift and its stance toward democratic norms is flaring amid current German coalition and migration politics.
