The Values Union received just 0.2 percent of the votes in the recent Baden-Württemberg elections. The party does not plan to run in the next state elections. In an interview with Junge Freiheit, top candidate Jörg Meuthen addresses questions about potentially dissolving the party.
The Values Union, a splinter party founded in 2022 from CDU and AfD circles, achieved a result of 0.2 percent in the Baden-Württemberg state elections. This poor performance highlights the ongoing challenges facing the party, led by Jörg Meuthen, former AfD chairman, as its top candidate.
The party has announced it will not participate in the next state elections, fueling speculation about its future. In an interview with Junge Freiheit, Meuthen addresses the question of whether it is now time to dissolve the Values Union. The article examines reasons for the failure, including a lack of distinction from the CDU and unsuitable leadership figures, without providing detailed quotes from the conversation.
Meuthen, who left the AfD in 2022 to co-found the Values Union, is at the center of the debate. The party aimed at conservative voters alienated from the CDU and AfD but failed to mobilize significant support. This result in Baden-Württemberg represents another setback for the initiative.
