Bavaria’s SPD has offered the CSU that the state parliamentary group tolerate a minority government until the state elections – should Prime Minister Markus Söder dismiss his deputy Hubert Aiwanger and break the coalition with the Free Voters.
“Out of responsibility for our Free State, we would rather tolerate a CSU minority government until October 8 than hand over our Bavarian democracy to the right-wing populists,” said SPD state leader Florian von Brunn on Friday in Munich.
SPD: The damage continues to grow with each passing day
He again called on Söder to fire Aiwanger after allegations of an anti-Semitic leaflet from his school days in the 1980s. “The Aiwanger affair about the anti-Semitic leaflet is a heavy burden for Bavaria and thus for the Söder government,” said von Brunn. “The damage is extremely large and continues to grow every day.”
According to the current allocation of seats, the CSU and SPD would have a one-vote majority in the fully occupied state parliament (103 out of 205 votes). In the so-called interim committee, the two groups make up 27 of 51 MPs. This committee deals, inter alia, with urgent matters after the last plenary session before elections. Only some of the members of the state parliament are members there.
