Warum sich Markus Söder (mal wieder) neu erfindet

Markus Söder's political instincts tell him that the air is getting thinner. After the bitter setbacks in the Bavarian local elections and the ongoing pressure from the Free Voters and the AfD, the Bavarian Prime Minister is once again reinventing himself. The motto from now on is: Less kebab folklore, more DAX and tough economic policy.

Gordon Repinski sat next to Söder on the ARD talk show “Caren Miosga” that evening and provided an analysis of Söder’s fight for political survival and his secretly still unburied dream of the federal government. In a 200-second interview: The CSU parliamentary group leader in the Bavarian state parliament, Klaus Holetschek. He defends the upcoming mother's pension against accusations of inefficiency, explains why the Union wants to maintain a healthy level of subsidies despite the massive pressure to save and where he can still imagine the "lawnmower". There are increasing signs from Israel that a new offensive against Iran is imminent. While people around the world wait for US President Donald Trump's decision, Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul is trying to mediate at diplomatic meetings in Berlin. Hans von der Burchard classifies the Berlin strategy into this.
