Before the federal election in 2021, Markus Söder holds out the prospect of rigorous tax cuts for medium-sized businesses and the self-employed.
He warns of a federal government under the SPD.
Munich / Nuremberg - Markus Söder addressed a declaration of war to the SPD and the Greens at the CSU party conference in Nuremberg.
He wanted to “save Germany from the left.
Don't be so self-confident, watch out, we'll catch you on the last few meters, ”said the 54-year-old Franke in the direction of the SPD chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz, who is ahead in the polls for the 2021 federal election.
Markus Söder: CSU boss makes a spectacular tax promise
"There is actually a threat of a political landslide," said Söder, referring to a possible alliance between the SPD, the Greens and the Left Party.
For him, red-red-green would be “a sharp left-wing stew,” he said in front of around 900 party members.
At the same time he warned of a possible traffic light coalition of the SPD, Greens and FDP - that would be a "diluted left-wing soup", said the CSU chairman: "The left formula is: higher taxes, higher debts, more bureaucracy, less security."
We want a single flat rate tax.

The Bavarian Prime Minister, who was confirmed as party chairman with 87.6 percent of the vote, made a spectacular promise about these taxes.
“We want a new single flat rate tax with a maximum of 20 percent trade, income and sales tax for medium-sized companies.
Let's finally do something for the small and medium-sized, and not always just for the big ones, "he said and said:" We are not there for the caviar, but for the Leberkäs floor. "

A capped income tax at 20 percent? For small businesses, the self-employed and medium-sized businesses? It would be a significant turning point in Germany's tax policy. To put it into perspective: Before the federal election in 2021, the top tax rate is 42 percent of income - only for income tax. A federal government to the left of the center, on the other hand, means "that this means a deterioration in their living situation for millions of people," explained Söder amid loud applause from the members.
