Press Photo Quarrel in the CSU after a Quarrel about the Freedom of the Press

Quarrel in the CSU after a Quarrel about the Freedom of the Press: The CSU and the government were plunged into a crises, because of the grave arguments between the "Bayernkurier" and the "Munchner Merkur". Minister President Franz Josef Straub called upon the Minister of Education and Cultural Affairs, Hans Maier (photo shows), to excuse for his article in the "Munchner Merkur", or to retire. There, Maier has defended this newspaper against sharp attacks in the party organ "Bayernkurier", which is published by the CSU-chairman Franz Josef Straub. At the same time, Minister President Straub is said to have threatened with his own retirement, if the CSU-parliamentary party should support Maier. Indeed a talk between Straub and Maier is intended for July 22nd. But, after the Minister of Education and Cultural Affairs has declined to excuse, it's possible that his political fate could be sealed with that.
