The prospect of not only having no ministers in Berlin, but also losing parliamentary influence hurts the Bavarians. Which in turn provides the Söder-CSU with plenty of ammunition for the election campaign.
Live and let live is a Bavarian motto. You can afford it, because Bavaria contributes a lot to Germany’s prosperity.
Markus Söder has recently ruled out a coalition with the Greens “categorically”, but that doesn’t mean much. This statement at the start of the election campaign in Bavaria is primarily of a tactical nature. First, it robs the eco-party of the government partner-in-waiting status it already claims to be. Secondly, he takes away the argument from the free voters that they have to prevent a black-green coalition in the Bavarian state parliament. Thirdly, the Franconian appeases his own followers, who were already suspicious of a bee protector and tree hugger Söder.
