CDU federal party

The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) is a major center-right political party in Germany, comprising conservatives and moderates who emphasize economic stability, social order, and European unity. Founded in 1945, it advocates for a social market economy, promotes traditional Christian values, and supports a strong, united Germany within the European Union. The CDU often appeals to voters seeking pragmatic policies on issues like security, healthcare, and education, balancing economic growth with social responsibility. It has been a dominant force in German politics, producing many chancellors, and aims to represent a broad spectrum of Christian and conservative views.
