The corona crisis has been raging in Bavaria for a year.

What stands out: The high poll numbers for Markus Söder are falling.

And there is a crunch in his coalition - the free voters are growing frustrated.

  • In the latest surveys, Söder and Aiwanger are getting closer again.

  • The Greens remain the second strongest force in Bavaria.

  • The Free Voters snatch their voters away from the FDP.

Munich

- Sometimes it's pinpricks, sometimes hammer blows, but it's not harmony.

Hardly a day goes by without a contradiction between the

CSU

and

free voters

.

Again on Wednesday:

Hubert Aiwanger

and

Markus Söder

stand shoulder to shoulder in

front of the cameras: One is talking about the store opening, the other explains why this is completely unthinkable.

Corona crisis in the government: CSU and Free Voters accuse each other

One could benevolently call this breadth of content.

Division of labor, so to speak:

Söder

takes care of health,

Aiwanger takes

care of the economy.

But it is not.

It is gradually becoming apparent how intensely the Bavarian coalition partners are clashing.

Again and again,

Aiwanger

and his party publicly oppose

Söder's plans

: with the

mandatory vaccination

for carers, at times with the 15-kilometer rule for tourists.

Söder

gave FW Minister of Culture

Michael Piazolo

an ultimatum to get the digitization breakdowns under control.

CSU local politicians certified that

Piazolo had

“miserable crisis management” and that he was politically bankrupt.

The

Free Voters

tried again to

blame

Finance Minister

Albert Füracker for

the mishaps - after all, the servers were his ministry's responsibility.

The

“Bayerntrend”

from BR magazine “Kontrovers”

shows that things are not going so

smoothly

.

The value collected by Infratest for the state government's corona policy is falling steadily.

60 percent are currently satisfied;

in April there were 89. There is a lot of approval among CSU voters, 83 percent -

Aiwanger's

supporters, on the other hand, are completely divided.

Every second quarrel with the politics of the state government.

Also

Söders

astronomically high approval ratings slowly approaching normal climes to: 72 percent are satisfied with it - 15 percentage points lower than in July, but still more than before the

Corona

-Crisis

year ago.

The people in #Bayern have been so satisfied with the work of the Prime Minister @Markus_Soeder and his deputy @HubertAiwanger in the past two years 👇 Tonight @Markus_Soeder is in the @BR_Kontrovers interview, @HubertAiwanger is part of our story: pic.twitter.com / GMkFa358T1

Corona crisis in the state government: are there signs of a black-green coalition?

Above all, the anger about

distance learning

leaves

its

mark.

74 percent of Bavarians comment negatively about the crisis management of the

Ministry

of

Culture

, across all parties and also with the

free voters

themselves. If you look at the overall picture of the state government, the

CSU *

does

significantly better: 66 percent are with the work of this part of the Government agree, only 45 percent with

free voters

.

Another curious detail from the data: 70 percent of the

Green

voters agree to the state government, but only 61 percent of the

free voters

.

To interpret this as a signal for a black and green flirt would be an exaggeration.

But it is noticeable how

Corona

covers up

the fundamental differences between the

CSU

and the

Greens

.

With a view to the federal election,

Söder

is currently clearly on the black and green card - and should feel confirmed.

For the opposition as a whole, the interim report after the

Corona year is

mixed.

The

Greens *

maintain their role as the strongest opposition force, which corresponds to the balance of power in the state parliament.

With the co-parliamentary group

leaders Katharina Schulze

and

Ludwig Hartmann

, 32 and 24 percent of Bavarians, respectively, are satisfied.

The rest of the opposition is barely visible behind it.

After the home office summit on Wednesday, Prime Minister Söder was properly heated by the Greens.

"He did not deliver anything," said parliamentary group leader Ludwig Hartmann.

Corona crisis in the state government: SPD and AfD on par

In the Sunday question, the

CSU is

expanding its supremacy with 48 percent (+3), the

Greens

follow with 19 percent (-2).

Otherwise, the political landscape has

hardly changed

since the last

Bavarian trend

:

Free voters

are eight percent (+1), the

SPD *

comes to 7 (-1), as does the

AfD *

(-1).

The

Social Democrats

ruling in the federal government

are therefore still on par with the

AfD

, which has also been particularly noticeable in recent months due to internal rifts.

The

FDP

, although quite eloquent in the state parliament with its parliamentary group leader Martin Hagen, boggles down to three percent on the Sunday question.

The

free voters are

tapping too many business-oriented voters.

Ten percent of Hagen himself said he was doing a good job.

75 percent don't know who he is.
