Bundestag President Wolfgang Schäuble warned CSU against national expansion. "The particularity of the CSU is not only its political influence, but also its particular Bavarian identity," said the CDU politician of the "Augsburger Allgemeine". In such a case, the CSU runs the risk of "losing some of its Bavarian identity".
In the dispute over German refugee policy, a break in the alliance between the CDU and the CSU was not improbable. The acute conflict has been resolved since the end of June. Schäuble has now spoken to the newspaper about the resistance of Eastern European states against the federal government 's asylum policy. "We must also respect those who disagree with us," he said.
On Sunday, tens of thousands of people took to the streets in Munich, in disagreement with the CSU refugee policy. Police spoke of more than 25,000 participants, who met in the afternoon after a protest march until the closing rally on Königsplatz. "Everything was very peaceful," said a spokesman for the police. The organizers of the # outraged protest finally spoke of 50,000 demonstrators

In their demo call, they launched CSU Chief Horst Seehofer, Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder and CSU Landesgruppenchef Alexander Dobrindt an "irresponsible division policy" before. Not only would the AfD aggravate hatred and exclusion in politics. "We signal against the mbadive shift to the right in society, the state of surveillance, the restriction of our freedom and human rights violations."
The CSU responded to the short-term demonstration call by a counter-campaign. She put posters in the city with the imprint: "Yes to political decency! No to #ausgehetzt Bayern can not be hated!". CSU deputy head Manfred Weber rejected criticism of the protesters. The allegations are "excessive and false in the matter," said the European politician of the press group "Straubinger Tagblatt / Landshuter newspaper". That during the election campaign, many leftist groups, especially left-wing groups, were completely normal. "But which CSU accuses extremism, political culture is detrimental."

Markus Blume, Secretary General of the CSU, has expressed significantly more. He accused the protesters of his "harbading" his party. "Whoever chanted the" racist CSU package ", accusing the CSU of preparing concentration camps, or accusing CSU of the death of migrants in the Mediterranean, has lost all ownership and operates the most perverse hatred," said Blume the SPIEGEL
