The leader of the Free Voters missed every chance to tell the truth about his youth and apologize in time. If Prime Minister Markus Söder does not want to betray the values of the CSU, he must dismiss him immediately.
How many witnesses still have to come forward for Hubert Aiwanger to finally admit what was common knowledge during his school days at the Mallersdorf-Pfaffenberg high school: Today’s leader of the Free Voters and Deputy Prime Minister of Bavaria adhered to right-wing extremist ideas as a youth. It is no longer about a leaflet that Aiwanger’s supporters dismiss as a venial youthful sin. It’s about the fact that he is said to have unabashedly appeared as a neo-Nazi for years – and apparently doesn’t think it’s that bad to this day.
