More on Christian Democratic Union
Description from Wikipedia:
The Christian Democratic Union of Germany (German: Christlich-Demokratische Union Deutschlands (CDU)) was an East German political party founded in 1945. It was part of the National Front with the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED) until 1989.
It contended the free elections in 1990 as an arm of the West German Christian Democratic Union, which it merged into after German reunification later that same year.
