Markus Söder demands concessions from the FDP in the formation of a Jamaican coalition made up of the Union, Greens and Liberals.
"Jamaica will not exist at any price," said the CSU leader, according to participants in the party executive.
The FDP must show movement on the subject of internal security.
"Our political core must be visible," Söder is quoted as saying.
Although the Union has no right to lead the next federal government, it does offer itself to form a government.
However, he thinks it is inappropriate to curry favor.
Söder also urged not to gloss over the result of the union in the federal election and simply to return to the agenda.
The Bavarian Prime Minister called for the result to be accepted.
According to SPIEGEL information, Söder also criticized Hubert Aiwanger, the head of his coalition partner Free Voters, in the board meeting.
He had briefly published election forecast figures on Twitter.
Such behavior is unworthy of a deputy prime minister, criticized Söder.
Without Free Voters, the Union would be ahead in election results, he claimed.
Because the Free Voters did not strengthen the bourgeois camp, but weakened it.
Massive criticism of Laschet
According to the German Press Agency, there was also clear criticism of the CDU boss and candidate for Chancellor Armin Laschet on the CSU board.
State group leader Alexander Dobrindt said in the board meeting, according to participants, that the CDU had weaknesses in terms of course, campaign and candidates.
Bavaria's Junge Union boss Christian Doleschal said that one had to honestly analyze that the Union did not win this election.
The candidate should be mentioned first: he took every faux pas with him up to election day.
The CSU European politician Manfred Weber spoke internally of a bitter result for the Union - and recalled that Söder had made the offer in the spring to become a candidate for chancellor himself.
And with him the Union would have done much, much better.
The CSU itself got the worst result in the federal election since 1949. After counting all 46 constituencies in Bavaria, the party of Söder only achieved 31.7 percent according to the website of the state returning officer.
This means a decrease of around seven percentage points compared to the 2017 federal election (38.8 percent).
The CSU had its worst result in the first federal election in 1949 with 29.2 percent.
