Bavaria's coalition is suffering from a row between Söder and Aiwanger: "The pace has become tougher". "The chemistry is no longer right between the CSU and the Free Voters, especially their alpha animals," says Christian Deutschländer.

Both parties are fighting for the same electorate; it is always about the sovereignty of interpretation, says Streibl. Neither the FW nor the FW are chained to each other without each other, warns Streibl: “We must not forget that we as a coalition have been given joint responsibility by voters.”
