Former Federal Constitutional Protection President Hans-Georg Maaßen does not want to run in the state elections in Thuringia. The 61-year-old is federal chairman of the ultra-conservative “Values Union” and wants to found a new party with it.
A new state parliament will be elected in Thurringia on September 1st. In 2021 he ran as a direct candidate in the federal election in southern Thuringian, but failed. He will now concentrate on building the “Union of Values” as a “bourgeois party”
