Markus Söder expresses doubts about the Union's success under Chancellor candidate Armin Laschet.
Before the federal election in 2021, he distributes against everyone - except against SPD man Olaf Scholz.
Munich - Would Bavaria's Markus Söder (CSU) have been the better candidate for chancellor for the Union?
This question can often be heard these days shortly before the federal election in 2021.
You polarized.
You are interested.
You busy.
Apparently also Söder himself. The Bavarian Prime Minister was asked in another interview whether it was too late to swap the top candidate for the CDU and CSU.
“It wouldn't make sense.
The ballot papers are printed and the posters are pasted.
Now we all have to fight and mobilize together in the final phase, "Söder told
Nürnberger Nachrichten
and
Nürnberger Zeitung
:" It's about the fundamental question for our country: is there a left slide or will a bourgeois government remain? "
Markus Söder, the better candidate for chancellor for the Union?
CSU boss doubts CDU success
As for the Union's candidacy for chancellor, he was “promoted” as CSU chairman and prime minister.
There has never been a CSU Chancellor either.
I am completely at peace with myself.
But of course I face any discussion and help Armin Laschet and the Union win, ”said the 54-year-old Franconian in the interview.
In the conversation he also expressed doubts and criticism of the sister party: "The CSU will certainly achieve the best union result, but we cannot disconnect from the federal trend either." What he means: The polls for the federal election predicted Chancellor candidate Armin Laschet and the CDU / CSU recently as a clear loser.
The CSU will surely achieve the best union result.
Markus Söder on the federal election
"Perhaps at least the CSU would have achieved a better result with me in Bavaria, but that is yesterday's news," said Söder thin-skinned - and gave it to all the other parties in the interview.
With the exception of SPD chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz.
“The Greens are still strong in Bavaria.
However, the population does not consider their candidate (
Annalena Baerbock
, d. Red.
) To be suitable for chancellor ", said Söder and said:" The weakness of the Greens is the strength of Olaf Scholz. "

With a view to the federal election in 2021, it was clear to him “that it would be a blink of an eye final. Two results are now conceivable. If Armin Laschet wins, he will run again in four years. If someone else wins, they will want to stay in power in 2025 ", the head of government from Bavaria continued and went back to the candidacy for chancellor:" The Germans have rarely corrected a fundamental change of direction after only four years. That's done for me. "
He now warns against the impression that “everything went well.
It will be very close, but anything is still possible.
The triall was a good start because I felt Armin Laschet there much better than his competitors, "he said and still doubted his Union colleague:" But it takes time for something like this to seep into the consciousness of the population. " The Bavarian Prime Minister did not even leave out Christian Lindner's FDP and Hubert Aiwanger's Free Voters, with whom he governs in Munich.
Federal election 2021: Markus Söder promotes CSU in Bavaria - and snubs free voters
“We now have to make it clear that it depends on the first and second votes. The second vote is the Bayern vote. The CSU can best represent Bavarian interests in Berlin, "said CSU boss Söder to the
Nürnberger Nachrichten
and the
Nürnberger Zeitung:
" Whoever gives them to the FDP chooses a diluted left slide with a traffic light. And the Free Voters do not come to parliament anyway. ”Few charming words to the coalition partner.
