At the CSU party congress, Söder used his cup several times to underline a message: He probably overlooked two things.
Nevertheless, the cup is sold out.
On 09/27
the virtual
CSU
* party
conference took place.
The focus was on a speech by
party leader Markus Söder
.
Immediately afterwards, his
cup became
famous - and was even sold out on the Internet at times.
It has a message that can also be related to the
corona pandemic
*
.
Munich -
CSU boss Markus Söder
is already known for his pictorial presentations this year.
At the virtual
party conference of the CSU
, he went one better: he used a
cup
to underline
his most important
message
.
The cup was sold out on the Internet immediately afterwards - according to research by the dpa.
Already in the middle of the
Corona crisis
*
, Söder invited Chancellor
Angela Merkel
to Herrenchiemsee.
Then he had to put up with the charge that he had staged too statesmanlike.
CSU party congress: Söder continues to drink from his cup after emotional words
Söder then used a cup twice for an important message at the party congress.
When he had told - in a very emotional way - of threats that were made against him because of the corona measures, he said afterwards: "I have to take a sip of tea first" - and the cup was the focus of all viewers of the virtual Party congresses.
And it's not just any
cup
, but a cup from the
“Game of Thrones”
series,
which Söder admires
.
The imprint "Winter is coming" alludes to the coming of a supposedly invincible crowd of the undead.
If you pour hot tea into the
cup
, the imprint changes to “Winter is here”.
At another point in his speech, the cup comes back into focus.
CSU party convention: Söder uses "Game of Thrones" cup for an important message
“It's going to be a difficult winter for us,” says Söder, taking his “Winter is coming” cup in his right hand, placing it on his manuscript and then, with his left hand, on the other side of his desk.
His message is intended to
warn
the
citizens
, but also to give them some courage, because he adds: "I hope we are well prepared."
Be careful with the cup staging: # Söder uses the "Game of Thrones" cup ("Winter is coming / Winter is here") at the # CSUVPT20 for a # Corona message.
According to # GoT inventor Martin, "winter" in his saga is a metaphor for climate change: https://t.co/LV5Iz5YI8D pic.twitter.com/ESpsLUzS3x

In this little production, Söder had probably overlooked two things: On the one hand, the "winter is coming" topic should
be read
more as a parallel to
climate change
, as
Game of Thrones
author
George RR Martin
said in an interview with the New York Times.
On the other hand, the cup no longer
said
“
Winter is coming
” but, thanks to hot tea, “
Winter is here
.” So did he
mean
to say that the
Corona apocalypse
is already here?
No, he said later - he did not know that the cup would change its label.
It was a gift.
