“Woke are picking our noses”: Aiwanger complains – he punishes Söder with disregard. “I’m not left-wing and certainly not right-wing,” he calls into the hall.

‘I'm sometimes liberal, sometimes extremely conservative. And that's why I'm a free voter." There is no cheering, but genuine applause from the 700 or so people in the town hall. But it is also a message to resist a shift to the right.
