Nuremberg - "Just get a little aggressive": According to CSU leader Markus Söder *, the Union is responsible for its increasingly deteriorating survey results * because of its passive election campaign.

Söder zu Laschet in the ZDF summer interview: I'm a “driver” in the election campaign
Söder emphasized that he expected a more aggressive strategy for the election campaign in the coming weeks: “It has to come now.” In the assessment, there are no differences with the Union Chancellor candidate and CDU leader Armin Laschet *: “We agree, we just need more speed and power, ”said Söder.
He sees his own role in the election campaign alongside Laschet as a “driver”, said Söder.
After the CDU and CSU were able to improve in the past weeks due to the mistakes of the others in the surveys, the Union is now back to the previous low level.
His concern is that the "strange election campaign" will continue to ripple and that in the end the Union will not be strong and sovereign enough to form a government due to a lack of commitment.
Corona: Söder railed against the time for new entry regulations - "That annoys me"
With a view to the Corona crisis * - also as one of the decisive election campaign topics - Söder complained that it had taken far too long again before the new entry regulation came in: "That annoys me." At the same time, it is important that the health ministers agree with theirs Conference on Monday for more vaccination offers for 12 to 17 year olds in the vaccination centers.
Söder again refused to be vaccinated, as this would divide society.
Instead, he is betting on convincing people through incentives.
This includes, for example, the constitutionally required return of all freedoms for people who have been vaccinated twice.
