Maxi Schafroth targets Söder and Aiwanger at the Nockherberger Derblecken.
His criticism: A spiral of verbal armament.
Munich - At the traditional politician parody at Munich's Nockherberg, humorist Maxi Schafroth expressed sharp criticism of the escalating severity of political debates.
In particular, on Wednesday evening he took aim at Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) and even more so at his deputy Hubert Aiwanger (Free Voters).

“Spiral of verbal armament”: Schafroth shoots against Söder and Aiwanger
“A spiral of verbal armament is what you have delivered over the last twelve months,” complained Schafroth in his Lenten speech to numerous high-ranking politicians from Bavaria and the federal government.
Söder and Aiwanger have become real “ramp pigs”, especially in the beer tent, according to the motto: “Let's push democracy to its limits like the old diesel on the Reschenpass.
(...) Away from the boring facts.
Towards emotion.”
In school we are taught to be polite.
And then Aiwanger expressed himself so bluntly that one had to state: “You have a verbal mess together.” Aiwanger has developed into “a political wood splitter,” said Schafroth.
“Because foresters and log burners know: split wood is better for lighting.” But even with Söder’s statements on Ash Wednesday with Honecker and dog comparisons, you have to ask yourself: “Who else is stopping you?”

A serious tone right at the start of this year's Derblecken
“The question is: Do we want that?
“How does this affect our coexistence?” Schafroth appealed to the Prime Minister and his deputy.
“Do we want fuzzing, do we want to upgrade verbally, or do we disarm now?” The decision would be up to the two of them.
The Lenten speech is followed by the Singspiel, in which politicians are imitated by actors.
In all of this, being parodied and mocked at the Nockherberg is ultimately a privilege.
The “worst thing” for top politicians is not being mentioned at all.
