Head of PM’s Office in Munich: Bavarian CSU is still Hungary’s friend
Change language:
The Bavarian Christian Social Union (CSU) is still a friend of Hungary, Gergely Gulyás, the head of the Prime Minister’s Office, said on Thursday after talks with CSU politicians in Munich.
The ruling Fidesz politician told journalists that everyone in the Bavarian governing party “sees the struggle that Hungary is undertaking in Europe and for Europe, and everyone sees confirmation of Hungarian economic policy and migration policy.”
“We continue to find friends of Hungary in the CSU,” he said. Whoever is not a friend “is temporarily turning against Hungary” due to their personal ambitions and careers, Gulyás added.
Besides Manfred Weber, the European People’s Party nominee for the European Commission presidency, all CSU representatives “voted against the Sargentini report and with Hungary,” he said.
Commenting on the CSU’s current precarious political prospects in Bavaria, Gulyás said the party faced its toughest situation since the second world war. The reason why, he added, was that Bavarian voters were also divided over migration policy “primarily” conducted by the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and its head, Chancellor Angela Merkel.
The CDU, today, is closer to the SPD than it is to the CSU.
The Seats in the Bundestag assigned to the CSU, by the Founder of the CSU, FJ Strauss, are those now occupied by the AfD.
The Reincarnation, albeit Protestant rather than Catholic, of the old “Adenauer-Strauss” Combination, today, is “Gauland-Soeder”
