The CDU and CSU are not in dispute for first time. The former CSU chairman Franz Josef Strauss, in particular, often attacked sister party and threatened to break several times. The parallels to 2018 are analyzed by Philipp Gassert, professor of contemporary history at University of Mannheim and author of a biography about Kurt Georg Kiesinger.
In Unionsstreitwar, "spirit of Kreuth" often mentions that CSU chief Horst Seehoferund had temporarily left Flaschegelassen of Bavarian prime Minister Markus Söder. The intention is to denounce group community DerUnionsparteien in Bundestag – as CSU country Group decided on 19 November 1976 at a meeting in Wildbad Kreuth.
The Sacheging at that time predictablely crooked. The n CSU chairman Franz Josef Strauss had misjudged mood in his party. When he personally insulted Nochnachlegte and CDU chief Helmut Kohl in Einersaftigen speech in a back room of Wiener Wald chain, Derwortgewaltige Bayer maneuvered himself out. Shortly reafter, CDU and CSU were reunited. However, fundamental conflict over coalition and power options as well as ' conservative ' versus ' Christian Democratic ' profile of Union has since yet again broken up.
Seehofer UndSöder seem to have learned for time being from mistakes of Far Strauss, a fraction of faction was out of question for m. Anyway limp AlleVergleiche to 1976.2018 union represents chancellor, at that time she darbte in opposition. Strauss was frustrated because after Bundestag election 1976 EineRegierungsverantwortung of union had moved in a far distance. SPD Chancellor Helmut Schmidt sat firmly in office and had saved his social-liberal coalition into NächsteLegislaturperiode. The blame for election defeat gave Strauss communal top candidate Kohl. He spoke to "political pygmies" of DerCDU intellectual and makes strategic format for a Wendeab, while he, simple MEP, was even received by great Chairman Maohöchstpersönlich. The talented ostrich saw Sichdauerhaft relegated to second row. Bavarian Prime minister was only two years later.
1968 was an ostrich cabinet member, just like Seehofer today © ben Kilb Philipp Gassert Professor of contemporary History at University of Mannheim, author of series "Five and fish" to author pageThose who seek einehistorische parallel to today must return to year 1968, to ErstenGroßen coalition. In a meeting of CSU leadership group at 16th September1968 in Bad Reichenhall, Strauss made an internal decision for a resolution DerFraktionsgemeinschaft and a nationwide extension of CSU strong. Auchdamals hung Coalition blessing awry.
DerCDU-Chancellor Kurt Georg Kiesinger was quite good with SPD. With ir Fraktionsvorsitzendenund Whipr Herbert Wehner, he understood himself splendidly. But Kiesinger had – in this comparable with Angela Merkel – his toil and distress with ChristsozialenFreunden from Bavaria. Strauss, who, as federal Minister of Finance, Kabinettsmitgliedund CSU chairman, held an analogous position to Seehofer today, ließwenige opportunities to present Chancellor to haze and Coram Publico. Strauss accused Kiesinger that he was "far too lax" in his attitude towards SPD, programmatic profile of Union watered down in large-coalition unity Mash.
The casus belli was 1968 eastern policy. After defeat of Prague Spring by Soviets in August 1968schienen, all approaches to relaxation in Europe had failed. Kiesinger Wolltedas not accept it. He held on course of cautious opening to East Fortress stood here politically SPD foreign Minister Willy Brandt much closer AlsStrauß and ors in Union, who now awaited by Chancellor a scharfeantikommunistische rhetoric.
Detonation Stofflag also on issue of West German signature DesAtomwaffensperrvertrags, an important precondition of trial with most demographic. Kiesinger washed, while Strauss in utter misunderstanding of GlobalenMachtverhältnisse did not want to submit to "dictation" of a nuclear renunciation of FRG. In this question of fate, Germans would have to face ir Western allies if necessary, Strauss found: "New Haltungnötig. Own German politics. End of Duckmäuserei ".
