Not just the Greens but also the "Christian Social Union" -- whatever that is.
The Christian Social Union (CSU) is the Bavarian branch of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU). The CSU is the most conservative of the German political parties, which puts it at about Teddy Kennedy's political position. They used to be pro-American, very anti-communist. When I was over there in 1980, they had a political ad using the term 'socialist unity sausage' to compare West Germany's prosperity and freedom to produce many kinds of sausage, compared to the threat of the socialists and their one kind of sausage. 'Socialist Unity Party' was the name of the East German communist party.
