Bavaria's Prime Minister and CSU leader Markus Söder recently celebrated his 55th birthday.
On his latest Instagram post, he now shows himself with a belated gift.
Munich -
The fifth corona wave is currently rolling over the Free State of Bavaria, the CSU has lost a lot of votes in the past federal elections and Prime Minister Markus Söder has also lost a lot of popularity, according to the latest surveys. But the father of the country and CSU boss is so easy not to be disturbed. Despite all the hardships of the past few weeks, Söder insisted on celebrating his 55th birthday at least a little on January 5th. Söder proudly presented the really delicious-looking cake that employees had apparently placed in his office on Instagram. One or the other might have wondered how Söder might have felt about celebrating his special day in Munich, since he had already sniffed the air of the Chancellery on his birthday the year before.But if Söder should actually have fallen into melancholy at this thought, he certainly did not show it.
Markus Söder: Prime Minister presents a birthday present on Instagram
A birthday is not only about cake, but of course also presents. And so the country manager proudly presents one in his latest Instagram post that probably found its way to him a few days late. In the photo, next to Söder's face, you can see a second head, which for some may be pretty frightening-looking. Only when reading the description does it become clear that this is a cup that Söder is holding into the camera.
“Despite the serious times, there are also cheerful things: This is my new Groot mug. A belated birthday present. Thanks for that ... “,
so the description of the picture. For those who don't know: Groot is a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, a science fiction comic series that was also made into a film.
New mug for Markus Söder: A suitable gift for science fiction fans
In the past, Söder had repeatedly drawn attention to himself with his penchant for cups with science fiction and film motifs.
Including various cups in Star Trek optics or with Spiderman lettering.
Söder caused a special stir in 2020 with a cup with the words "Winter is coming" on it.
A reminiscence of the hit series "Game of Thrones" - and at the same time a warning from the Prime Minister of the upcoming next Corona wave in the cold season?

Groot cup as a birthday present: Markus Söder presents himself on Instagram
The CSU itself apparently celebrates its boss for his latest cup addition. "We are Groot!" It says in the comments below the photo. And other positive comments like
“I love Groot!”
Can be found under the picture. But not everyone is enthusiastic. Many followers ask relevant profiles to caricature the new photo of the
“Meme God”
Söder.
“It has to be on purpose. Is creating a meme actually a job? ”, Says
a user below the picture. And one even comments on the slightly wrinkled face of the CSU boss with the words:
“Maggus, you can see that you celebrated your birthday. On a birthday you really do your thing, haha. "
Whether Söder is really tired of partying or whether the current political situation is affecting him is probably a matter of interpretation.
While Söder is happily posting cup photos in Munich, his illegitimate daughter Gloria Sophie traveled to one of the big Omikron hotspots worldwide for “professional reasons”, as she says.
Then she turned to her followers with an emotional statement.
