Free voter boss Hubert Aiwanger caused a row in the Bavarian coalition with his statements on vaccination.
While the CSU criticized Aiwangers vaccination statements, party comrades in the district give him backing.
At the same time, they emphasize the importance of the vaccination campaign.
District - District Councilor Michael Marksteiner sees it as "bottomless cheek that Söder is so widespread.
The direction in which the discussion is going annoys me. ”The attacks by the CSU against Aiwanger are purely campaign tactics.
“Every means is right.
It should be about content. ”Aiwanger's statements were“ ineptly made, he is a role model.
But you have to accept his decision not to vaccinate, ”says Marksteiner.
Arnold Reuss, FW direct candidate in the Weilheim constituency for the Bundestag, says he decided to have the vaccine himself, "although not without skepticism".
Vaccination is a crucial component in coping with the pandemic.
"I can only advertise with the facts that I could experience myself: that I myself and all those who were vaccinated in my environment have tolerated the vaccination very well so far."
Vaccinate a personal choice
The decision for or against the vaccination is above all a personal one, with which the person concerned must feel comfortable.
"The statements by Hubert Aiwanger only insist on this voluntariness," emphasizes the Weilheimer.
"The outrage about it seems to me in many places completely exaggerated and transparent." To add in the direction of the CSU: "For me it does not fit in any case that the CSU, for example, is fundamentally against a compulsory vaccination, but at the same time exerts pressure, by publicly denigrating non-vaccinated people like Mr Aiwanger. "
Susann Enders also emphasizes that the Free Voters do not want to build up any pressure when vaccinating.
“Vaccination is an important component.
But we are of the opinion that it must remain a personal decision, ”says the member of the state parliament from Weilheim.
This freedom must also be granted to Hubert Aiwanger.
Criticism of Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder
“The whole debate started with Mr. Söder publicly divulging sensitive health data of his deputy.
That was a clear crossing of the border. ”She regrets that it has become a“ witch hunt ”.
“Society is divided.
Those who are vaccinated are good.
Anyone who is not vaccinated is angry.
And if you are critical, you are a lateral thinker - I condemn that. "
According to Enders, they get mostly positive feedback on their party leader.
Whether and to whom the discussion in the Bundestag election harms or benefits will be seen in September.
