At the fish dinner of the Munich CSU, the diesel driving ban imposed by the majority of the town hall was criticized.
Signatures were also collected against the decision.
Munich – The traditional fish meal of the Munich CSU was recently canceled three times in a row.
In 2020 and 2021 the Corona crisis prevented the event.
In 2022, party officials were so shocked by the outbreak of the Ukraine war that they considered political folklore inappropriate at the time.

Munich: Eisenreich calls diesel driving ban "anti-business and anti-social"
On February 24, 2023 - exactly one year after the start of the Russian invasion - the CSU came together again for their fish dinner in the ballroom of the Hofbräuhaus.
It goes without saying that the Ukraine war played a dominant role in the speeches on Friday evening.
At least one local topic was explicitly picked out by the district chairman Georg Eisenreich: The diesel driving ban on and within the Mittlerer Ring stinks for the Munich CSU.
This “hasty decision in times of crisis” is absurd, Eisenreich rumbled.
Thomas Schmid, chairman of the Schwabing district association, which organizes the fish dinner, castigated the driving ban as disproportionate.

On Friday evening, the CSU even laid out lists of signatures against the diesel decision.
As reported, several lawsuits against the decision of the green-red city government have already been filed before the administrative court - which Eisenreich also described as "anti-business and anti-social".
In general, the Greens' "paternalist policy" gets on their nerves.
On the subject of forced reforms, the CSU city chief came up with another example: "The gender star divides this society," he criticized.

Manfred Weber thinks Merkel would have managed the crisis better and got boos for it
The main speaker of the evening was - as in 2019 - Manfred Weber.
The leader of the European People's Party in the EU Parliament stressed that it deserves enormous respect "how Ukrainians fight for their freedom".
Standing by their side also means “defending our values”.
There could only be one answer to the Russian aggression: "Full support for the Ukraine." Weber accused the federal government of delivering too little here.
When the European politician remarked that former Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) had managed the crisis better, there was a murmur in the hall and soft boos.
