Franz-Josef Strauss warning about a party to the right of the Union resurfaces

Original: Franz-Josef Strauss hat mal zu seiner # Union gesagt, sie dürfe keine Partei rechts von ihr zulassen. Warum nicht kann m

A quote attributed to Franz-Josef Strauss is circulating, in which the former Bavarian leader told his Union it must never allow a party to its right to become established. Commenters say current developments prove his point, arguing the Union's shift away from Christian-democratic values has opened space for radical right-wing forces in Germany.
