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.
