Christian Social Union

The Christian Social Union (CSU) is a center-right political party in Germany, mostly active in the southern state of Bavaria. Founded in 1945, the CSU emphasizes Christian values, social responsibility, and conservative economics. It often collaborates with the larger Christian Democratic Union (CDU) at the national level. The CSU focuses on issues like family, security, and integration, advocating for a strong economy while maintaining traditional social values. Its policies reflect a blend of social welfare and conservative principles, appealing to voters who value both faith-based ethics and a market-oriented approach to governance.
