The contemplative time is now beginning, but for Michael Schwing the days are somehow unhappy. He has been the head of the Miltenberg CSU for two years, usually CSU district chiefs are MPs, but Schwing is the mayor of Röllbach, with a population of 1,600. In the municipalities one has enough on the ears these days, of course Schwing also has to deal with unpleasant phenomena in his CSU association.
Appearances with a strict, slightly right-wing aftertaste, for which he is not to be held liable as head of the district – but has to serve as a contact person. Sometimes his office is “more fun, sometimes less,” says Schwing. Less at the moment, one may assume. There is already talk on the Main that the Miltenberg CSU will soon employ a whole department for state security, if things continue like this.
Inquiry from the Aschaffenburg public prosecutor’s office: What exactly is it about? On the one hand, there is an investigation into insults, defamation and defamation against persons in political life, answers Chief Public Prosecutor Marco Schmitt. The accused, Miltenberger CSU member, is accused of having stated in an email to a third party in connection with the 2-G rule that Markus Söder will soon be in prison – he has been informed that vaccines are approved based on lies and deceit. The CSU man cannot be reached by the SZ.
Erwin Dotzel, President of the Lower Franconian District Assembly, who is being investigated for insulting, can be reached. According to the public prosecutor’s office, Dotzel is said to have described another local CSU man as a “right louse” in a WhatsApp group of the CSU local branch in Wörth – near Miltenberg. That CSU member then filed a criminal complaint. Now determine the department “which is responsible for criminal offenses with a political background”. Mr. District President? “Bad and sad,” says Dotzel. And: “I didn’t do anything bad.”
Two “little things”, Schwing groans, but with exactly two members of the CSU association, he now has to avoid the impression that he has “a problem with distancing himself from the right.” Schwing wants to know emphatically. There will be no party expulsion proceedings against the member who is said to have predicted Söder imprisonment. Something like that doesn’t help – the CSU Miltenberg is convinced of that.
