Are the missing folk festivals to blame for the result? Söder with a strange explanation for election debacle

The CSU suffered heavy losses in the federal election in Bavaria.

Markus Söder has already identified a reason for the poor result.

Munich - The CSU * around Markus Söder * had the worst result since 1949 in the 2021 federal election with just 31.7 percent.

Overall, the CDU / CSU were at 24.1 percent in Germany - and thus behind the SPD *, which has 25.7 percent.

But what was it?

In the CSU board meeting, criticism of Chancellor candidate Armin Laschet * was apparently loud.

At the same time, however, their own people were also criticized.

For example, Ilse Aigner is said to have 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 also called for the “culture of debate” to be rebuilt.

After the election debacle, Söder announces analysis: Have you already identified a reason?

After the board meeting of the CSU, Markus Söder himself spoke of a “defeat” in the election and announced a comprehensive review and error analysis.

Although he has not yet given any details, the party leader has apparently already identified a reason for the poor results: so-called "corona collateral effects".

What is meant by this is that the CSU lacked a personal election campaign.

Because: "Only encounter creates emotions and also helps to explain." Nevertheless, the protection of life was more important than "party tactical considerations", as Söder explained.

Söder: Union has no right to form a government

Söder: Beer tents "part of political communication in Bavaria"

Unfortunately, appointments at folk and strong beer festivals were not possible due to the corona pandemic *.

That would have been important for the party, because: "Beer tents are not everything, but they are part of political communication in Bavaria."
