With attacks on the Greens, Free Voters’ top candidate Hubert Aiwanger got his party in the mood for the election campaign. In the next state government, the FW must “absolutely be there again in order to stabilize this country,” said the economics minister on Saturday at a party conference in Hirschaid near Bamberg. The problem is that “people who haven’t had a shovel in their hands tell the others how the country works,” he ranted about the traffic lights in Berlin. He accused her of “pink blossom dreams”, that she ruled “like in a table football game”, where “the ball is thrown in at the top, it will come out in the right hole”. Bavaria must continue to be “governed in a stable and reasonable manner”, which means: “without the Greens”.
According to Aiwanger, it was a mistake that Robert Habeck’s ministry was called Economy and Climate Protection, it had to be called “Economy and Prosperity”. He is “also for climate protection”, but if this means destroying the economy, it is a “milkmaid’s calculation”. His FW see themselves as “service providers and not Oberschlaumeier” who make people rules about eating meat. There was practically no criticism of the CSU, whose boss Markus Söder is striving for the continuation of the alliance and rules out a coalition with the Greens.
BR24 noted such taunts from the mouth of Secretary General Susann Enders. The FW had a “rich, rich in content, very clear election program, in contrast to the CSU”. She also defended Aiwanger’s controversial speech at the heating law demonstration in June: “He is the one who clearly spoke the language of the citizens in Erding.” Recently, during the traditional closing words from Ilse Aigner (CSU), President of the State Parliament, Aiwanger had to listen to criticism for his demo theses. “We don’t have to take democracy back,” Aigner warned in the plenary session. The deputy prime minister then refused her applause.
In a paper, the FW decided 38 points for the next coalition agreement with the CSU – including exhausting the possibilities of deporting delinquent immigrants, using a reduction in income tax and a Bavarian housing program.
