At some point he could no longer explain Markus Söder's corona policy himself, says Jürgen Fraas.

Now the CSU local chief von Wunsiedel is leaving the party.

Wunsiedel - The shot should have been heard clearly in Munich.

In any case, the media coverage is enormous.

But that was exactly Jürgen Fraas' goal: Out of disappointment with the corona policy of the Bavarian state government, the previous CSU local chairman in Wunsiedel in Upper Franconia turns his back on his party.

CSU boss in Wunsiedel resigns from the party - Because of Markus Söder's Corona policy

Local politicians said that he could no longer represent the actions of state management and Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU).

That is why he is stepping down from the party and the CSU city council faction with immediate effect, but remains active in the city council.

"This termination is not a quick step, but a mature consideration," stressed Fraas.

"It also has nothing to do with local politics or local people." The media had previously reported on the move.

Söder reason for leaving the party: Ex-CSU member Fraas - "I'm not a vaccine opponent, radical"

"I expressly emphasize that I am not an opponent of vaccinations, radical or otherwise, but see myself as an absolute democrat," said Fraas. But the politics of the past two years with incomprehensible and changeable restrictions in retail and small businesses as well as the volatility of orders did not reveal any foresight.

Fraas explains to the regional television broadcaster TV Oberfranken: "It is not right if an officer goes into quarantine and a person in the public service does not receive any money and the officer receives full pay." Private again and again. "And if at a certain point in time I cannot give a credible answer because I already have the question in myself, then the point has come." The point at which he asked himself more and more often: "What can I do, so that the answers might turn out to be positive again? ”For Fraas, leaving the party was the only remaining step to set an example that is also seen in Munich.
