What does the symbolism in this cartoon mean? Who does the chicken represent?

  1. The medallion reads “CSU”, the initials of the main conservative party in Bavaria, a kind of sister party to the CDU (Angela Merkel’s party), which together form a single parliamentary group in the Bundestag.

    The CDU/CSU was the successor to the old Centre Party, which was essentially the political wing of the Catholic Church, which would explain why the chicken is wearing a priest’s hat. And of course the church in the background is St Mary’s in Munich, the capital of Bavaria.
