Anyone who has always believed that Hubert Aiwanger was completely different can now feel confirmed.
Munich, November 5th. The “Fischkopp Affair” around Hubert Aiwanger continues to expand in the state parliament. The deputy prime minister and head of the free electorate admitted on Friday that he had sneaked into Bavarian politics almost twenty years ago with a cover identity. Aiwanger’s actual name is therefore Nils Fiete Hansen. It does not come from Rahstorf in Lower Bavaria, as previously assumed, but from Quickborn near Hamburg. “I apologize to everyone who feels misled now,” said Aiwanger. “But you won’t be elected as Nils Fiete in Rottenburg. Not even in Landshut.” He often had to “listen to sayings, you won’t get spit”. Hansen warned against a “apartheid discussion on the backs of us North Germans”.
According to the research network of Ippen Investigativ and image-Zeitung, Aiwanger completed an apprenticeship as a fishing technician in a seafood farm in Büsum as Nils Fiete Hansen after graduating from high school. He then worked for several years as a polar bear keeper at the Bremerhaven Zoo. The surprising success of his debut novel “Wasserleiche im Dünengras” and other Sylt crime novels allowed him to radically reorient his career in the mid-1990s. He began a Masters in Bavarian Studies at Oxford University.
With a highly gifted scholarship from the Hanns Seidel Foundation, he finally came to the Free State to do research for his dissertation on “Upper Palatinate Language Islands in Lower Bavaria” as part of a two-year research stay. “He is one of the most brilliant linguists we have ever had at Oxford,” said his diploma. “The only thing to be criticized is a persistent Apf-Vpf weakness.”
Aiwanger’s identity change was blown when a senior tour group from Freyung-Grafenau recognized him at the fish market in Cuxhaven, where he was standing in line at a mobile vaccination station for a booster vaccination. Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) gave calls for an end to the black-orange coalition a clear rejection on Friday: “I work very trustingly with Dr. Hansen,” said Söder. Hansen himself also rejected calls for resignation: “Here in the north there is a storm only when the sheep are no longer curled up.”
