New anger about the CSU election posters in the Munich municipal election - the party now has to search for and replace fake posters across the city.
- Before the municipal election in Munich 2020, a CSU election poster is causing excitement.
- "Stay refugees, drive out cyclists" is the slogan.
- A CSU party spokesman commented on the poster.
Munich - And again there is trouble about a CSU election poster - this time because of a fake. It reads the well-known slogan: "I'm not a bike, but for many it's the only way." But instead of the original pictogram of a car, a lifeboat can be seen. And the saying: "Refugees stay, drive away cyclists." And: "Become human again."
Local election Munich 2020: Twitter users laugh at CSU
A Twitter user discovered the poster in the Westend . Further manipulated posters can be seen in the comments below the picture. A user jokingly thinks that the CSU is no longer able to differentiate between satire and election campaign .
This anti-wheel campaign by @CSUMuenchen is slowly becoming bizarre, but we think #RefugeesWelcome is good!

The poster did not come from the CSU, of course. A party spokesman said at the request of our newspaper that someone had put a lot of effort into copying it. Torn or smeared posters are usually the annoyance, not fakes. "But of course that is also vandalism, but complaining against unknowns doesn't work in the end. And it is futile to discuss who is responsible for it. ”The posters will be found and replaced.
Election poster anger: "Apparently there is a big fan ..."
With posters there is trouble in every election campaign. In Moosach , during the state election campaign, a stranger removed about two dozen posters promoting an event with Markus Söder (CSU). He took it with the humor. In his speech in the beer tent, Söder joked that he was happy to be invited to the event, which almost nobody had heard of. “As I heard there is obviously a big fan who stole 25 posters from me. Should he watch now, he should report, I will be happy to sign it afterwards. "
