1:13 p.m
.: The press conference begins. Markus Söder speaks of a “disappointing result” and a “defeat.” Nevertheless, almost all direct mandates in Bavaria have been defended. The Greens were only able to win a direct mandate in Munich-South. Söder praised the “final spurt”, he is sure that without the party congress the result would have been worse. Bavaria has the “highest mobilization in terms of voter turnout,” says Söder with satisfaction. There are small positive accents, but the overall impression remains "bad". Over 60 constituencies have been lost nationwide, in the east they are only number 3. Among young voters, they are only the fourth election, and women over 60 have also lost.
Update from 1:03 p.m.:
The press conference was scheduled for 1 p.m., but seems to be delayed a bit.
There is still nothing to be seen of CSU boss Markus Söder.
After election debacle: CSU board meets - criticism of party leader Söder
Update from 12.45 p.m.:
The day after the federal election, the CSU board met in a meeting.
Party leader Markus Söder wants to speak at a press conference in 15 minutes.
You can follow them here in the live stream and ticker.
In the CSU board there was probably the heaviest reckoning in years.
This is reported by Christian Deutschländer, Head of Politics / Background at
Münchner Merkur.
Many speakers quarreled with the CDU top candidate Armin Laschet.
At the same time, criticism of one's own people increased.
Ilse Aigner warned that the CSU had lost its economic competence over the years.
At the same time, the SPD has caught up with women.
Without naming Söder and his style, Aigner calls for the “culture of debate” to be rebuilt.
Söder rows back the morning after the election - does he draw consequences?
First report from September 27, 11:26 a.m .:
Munich - In the federal election, the CSU in Bavaria had the worst result since 1949.
The party around Markus Söder came to 31.7 percent.
This emerges from the preliminary official election result.
There was also a disappointment in the federal government: the SPD around Olaf Scholz * won the election with 25.7 percent, the union around CDU * boss Armin Laschet * experienced a historical debacle and came up with 24.1 percent.
Bundestag election: Söder does not want to be "ingratiated at any price" after the debacle
CSU boss Söder has therefore emphasized that after the crash in the federal election, the Union could not make any compelling claims to governance.
Because CDU / CSU only took second place, not first place.
Although there is no entitlement to the leadership of the government, there is an offer for talks.
That said Bavaria's Prime Minister, according to participants, on Monday in a CSU board meeting.
Such an offer would be made - but there would be no “ingratiation at any price” from the Greens and the FDP, he made clear.
(By the way: Our Bavaria newsletter informs you about all developments and results from the Free State about the upcoming federal election - and of course about all other important stories from Bavaria.)
Bundestag election: CSU boss Söder speaks of defeat
The day after the election, Söder spoke of a disappointing result and described the result of the Union as a "defeat".
According to the participants, Söder warned against glossing over the result and simply going back to the agenda.
The CSU result is also bad, but you got away with a black eye - you now make up a quarter of the parliamentary group in the Bundestag.
In addition, Söder pointed out that all but one of the direct mandates in Bavaria had been defended.
Criticism of Söder after the CSU election debacle - press conference announced
Nevertheless, Söder had to take criticism after the election debacle: “In the election campaign, you cannot credibly warn against a slide to the left in Germany that you have pushed as chairman of your own party.
You cannot portray yourself as Merkel's most loyal followers and at the same time promote stable conditions in economic and security issues.
The CSU's particularly poor performance in relation to the CDU's result can therefore not only be blamed on Armin Laschet, especially since Markus Söder did everything to prevent Friedrich Merz from being the Union's only promising candidate for chancellor "Conservative awakening in Bavaria" quoted in a press release.
CSU biggest loser: only 31.7 percent
Does this mean Söder draws conclusions?
At 1 p.m. there will be a press conference with the CSU boss.
