Markus Söder drew a comparison on Twitter that triggered a shit storm.
Numerous people commented on the post and criticized the CSU boss.
Munich - Due to the Corona * crisis, Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder * has come even more into the public eye.
He manages the Corona * course for Bavaria, speaks at press conferences next to Chancellor Angela Merkel * (CDU *) or holds government statements in the state parliament.
“Markus, we need you”: Schild caused a sensation at Söder's Ash Wednesday speech
Söder polarizes.
On political Ash Wednesday - due to the Corona crisis this year digitally - it was not his speech that was the focus, but the screen behind him.
While the CSU * boss spoke, a man in traditional Bavarian clothes ran across the screen in the background.
In his hand he held a sign that read: “Markus, we need you!” That sparked a lot of discussion on the internet.
After tweet about tofu sausage and veggie burger: Twitter users shoot against Söder
Now Söder is causing a stir again.
He wrote on Twitter: “Many underestimate the Political Ash Wednesday.
It reflects culture and Bavarian tradition.
The CSU invented it and the others are imitating it.
It's like tofu sausage or veggie burger - theoretically possible, but pointless and tasteless. "

Criticism quickly gathered under the tweet: “Very good and well thought-out comparison, Mr. Söder.
Eating tofu sausage and the resulting reduction in your own CO2 footprint is definitely just as 'pointless' as imitating Ash Wednesday, ”says one user ironically.
“Reject the absence of animal suffering in food ... are these these 'Christian values'?
asks another with a view to Söder's party - the Christian-Social Union.
After a tweet about tofu sausage and veggie burger: criticism of Söder - "The only tasteless thing is your tweet"
“So you see animal welfare, environmental protection and your own health as pointless?
Then why don't you tell us about the point of factory farming?
The only bad taste here is your tweet, ”is another harsh criticism.
"You can argue about the first part, but the end is once again an embarrassing ingratiation to the regulars' table and the people who have been yesterday," so the reproach.
Some users seem to react with humor and post pictures of veggie burgers or links to “sensible and tasty recipes”.
But the tenor is clear: “You shouldn't make vegetarian alternatives look ridiculous.”
