Söder is in the starting blocks: “Fastnacht in Franconia” takes place this evening. This year he will appear in costume again - but what the Bavarian Prime Minister will wear is a big secret.
In 2023, Söder appeared as a tribal elder at the first post-Corona carnival - to lead Bavaria through the storms, as he himself described it on Instagram. The participants traditionally include a large number of Bavaria's top politicians, who usually appear in disguise.
