CDU-Führung fordert Parteiausschluss – Maaßen reagiert darauf

Dr. Hans-Georg Maaßen (60, CDU), the former president of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution and current head of the conservative-liberal association WerteUnion, is increasingly going on the offensive against his party leadership. After it became known that CDU leader Friedrich Merz would not accept his defeat in the first party exclusion proceedings and now wants to dismiss Maaßen through the second instance at the Thuringian State Party Court, Maaßen announced his resistance. „Now Merz is taking it to the extreme. He cannot handle internal criticism,“ Maaßen wrote on the afternoon of November 6 on X (formerly Twitter).

Now it is Merz, of all people, who is „cold-bloodedly“ continuing the party exclusion proceedings against him. „I was right“ Maaßen pointed out that everything he had „predicted in the field of migration“ has also come true: I have been defamed and fought by the #CDU because of my criticism of Merkel’s migration policy.

In it, Maaßen calls on Merz to fulfill five demands. The core issue is to end the unlimited migration policy and address the „rule of law“ that former

Dr. Hans-Georg Maaßen (60, CDU), der ehemalige Präsident des Verfassungsschutzes und heutige Chef des konservativ-liberalen Vereins WerteUnion, geht immer mehr in die Offensive gegen seine Parteispitze. Nachdem bekannt geworden war, dass CDU-Chef Friedrich Merz seine Niederlage im ersten Parteiausschlussverfahren nicht hinnehmen und Maaßen nun über die zweite Instanz am Thüringer Landesparteigericht abservieren lassen will, kündigte Maaßen seinen Widerstand an. „Jetzt treibt Merz es auf die Spitze. Er kann mit innerparteilicher Kritik nicht umgehen“, schrieb Maaßen am Nachmittag des 6. November auf X (vormals Twitter). Bei Merz tue sich ein „Abgrund an Charakter“ auf. Denn es sei die WerteUnion gewesen, die Merz seinerzeit bei der Wahl zum Parteivorsitzenden unterstützt habe. Nun sei es umgekehrt ausgerechnet Merz, der das Parteiausschlussverfahren gegen ihn
