Twelve o’clock in the afternoon. The CDU presidium has given party member Hans-Georg Maassen a dramatic ultimatum. The former president of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution and the new head of the so-called Union of Values ​​should leave the party by Sunday after his controversial statements in social media and interviews. Otherwise, he faces a party order procedure. Its goal: exclusion from the party.
