Kempten/Oberallgäu - For the political Ash Wednesday of the FDP district associations in Kempten and Oberallgäu, District Councilor Daniela Busse has cast herself in the role of ex-Chancellor Angela Merkel.
There was both seriousness and amusement in the traditional “slap down” of the political opponent.
A lonely alpine meadow: forest and grass are green.
But who is that?
A person glowing in bright pink and mint is poking along the mountain path with their walking sticks.
Tracksuit, giant glasses, pearl necklace, tummy - Angela Merkel is enjoying her retirement and her vacation in the Allgäu.
The political Ash Wednesday of the FDP district associations in Kempten and Oberallgäu is against the Bavarian state government
Together with the Oberallgäu district chairman Michael Käser as the hut host, Merkel, aka Daniela Busse, is teasing the Bavarian state government.
With numerous schnapps at the bar, the two are not only surprised about "Wendehals Markus Söder" or the accumulation of offices of the "Trash TV judge" Alexander Hold, but also about the poor cell phone network quality in the Allgäu.
The CSU suffers so much from young talent problems that candidates like Mechthilde Wittmann are even taken from the Munich chic crowd.
Merkel was sad that everyone was invited to Christian Lindner's wedding - just not her. "That'll do it - huh?!" close and has the laughs on her side.
"The price of milk is always mint." Käser is also absorbed in his role as Alpöhi.
Political heart sheet with Dr.
Dominik Spitzer
At the FDP event in Kempten, there are traditional sketches and funny contributions.
On the 1990s show "Herzblatt", city councilor and member of the state parliament Dr.
Dominik Spitzer oriented.
With Susi-Spitzer, the audience had the choice between "Mop Hubert Opfelsoft, who knows the business better IN than outside it" and "Brown Coal Robert", who didn't know what bankruptcy was, and "Sonder Vermögens-Christian".
Of course, Finance Minister Christian Lindner got the best deal.
The guests came in large numbers to the "Milk and Sugar" restaurant for a comedic settling of accounts with the political opponents.
The more than 60 registered were joined by unannounced ones.
The liberals were pleased with the great interest in view of the current not very rosy poll numbers of around five percent, if it were now a state election.
Habeck, Stoiber and Aiwanger as bitter pills
The family doctor and health policy spokesman for the FDP parliamentary group, Spitzer, showed how he processes the trauma in a film: He reaches into the medicine cabinet.
But the healing degenerates into a horror trip.
After every pill he takes, Spitzer dreams of politicians from federal and state governing parties.
Edmund Stoiber, Hubert Aiwanger and Robert Habeck give him nightmares and delusions.
Only an antidote in a syringe can provide relief.
"With this government you have to swallow bitter pills," said Spitzer.
He had a lack of understanding for the Kempten Greens, who had not approved the location for the planned photovoltaic area for electrically operated city buses near the Bachtelweiher.
Now is the time to “promote renewable energies,” said Spitzer.
Spitzer issued a disastrous testimony to the Bavarian state government.
The mask affair, the NSU, the chaos surrounding the second main route and the overpriced future museum in Nuremberg: there have already been four investigative committees in the current election period.
Good mood at the political Ash Wednesday of the FDP
Little happened with the promise of a nursing place guarantee, the housing offensive via BayernHeim or the electrification of the Allgäu railway lines, although Prime Minister Markus Söder also announced the latter during a visit to the festival.
When it comes to the hospital structure reform, which the federal government is now taking up, other states are Bavaria “miles ahead”.
And to combat the shortage of teachers, Minister of Education Michael Piazolo can think of nothing better than poaching teachers from other federal states.
Anyone who wants a “working corrective” should vote for the FDP.
Together, audience and speaker laughed at a slip of the tongue that happened to Spitzer with the slogan of all things: "We are the S..." he had started and immediately corrected: "We are the best idea - FDP"
"That was sarcasm"
The government made up of Free Voters and the CSU also attacked the Allgäu Young Liberals with their film à la the show with the mouse.
Dripping with irony and in the style of a mouse, they declared Bavarian projects such as the second regular route or digitization to have failed.
Bavarian schools still rely on overhead projectors.
The CSU recipe for success: "Mia san mia", the permanent change of direction by Markus Söder and many friends, Spanish: "amigos".
Also serious tones in the political Derblecken of the FDP in Kempten
City Councilor Ullrich Kremser gave an insight into Kempten city politics.
He was responsible for the more serious part of the evening, he said, and named current 'construction sites' in the city.
Kremser was not only worried about the price increases at Zumsteinwiese and Kornhaus, but also about the alleged opposition to car and bicycle traffic.
The topic has now flared up again on the sometimes narrow Salzstrasse.
"There is no place for a cycle path," said Kremser, pointing out alternative routes for cyclists: "Years ago, the FDP already applied to make Westendstraße a bicycle street." This application was rejected.
"We need good cooperation so that the city can be easily reached and stays lively!", the FDP man worried that the city could be deserted if the cars had to stay outside.
The guests liked the political exchange of blows.
"The posts used to be sharper," a lady from the audience remarked to the
district messenger
.
But that could be due to the current difficult times.
As Ullrich Kremser said: With the war in Ukraine and its consequences, "it is becoming more difficult for politicians to do something for the population".
