SZ podcast “Auf den Punkt” – News from May 4th, 2022 – Bavaria

A year and a half before the state elections in Bavaria, CSU General Secretary Stephan Mayer resigned. Allegedly “for health reasons”. Party leader Markus Söder also reprimands his failures towards you Colorful-Journalists that this is “completely inappropriate”, out of the question and “totally unacceptable”. Mayer was previously considered “a complicated character,” says SZ editor Andreas Glas. For the CSU it was “at least a medium-sized catastrophe, less than a year and a half before the state elections, which the Secretary General is supposed to be in charge of organizing”.

The current resignation shows the bigotry, says Glas. It is clear that a son who is not cared for is “unpleasant headlines for the man whom Söder described as very Catholic”. But Mayer is not even married. “In 2022, that will no longer be a criterion, even in the CSU.” Ultimately, the problem was how he dealt with it and how he then apparently tried to “prevent reporting on it and the editor of the brightly colored to intimidate”. The CSU is also still in the middle of the mask affair. All of this, says Glas, is “of course poison for a party that still calls itself Christian and social”. Many people get the feeling “that the CSU just like in the old Amigo times there were still people on the go who simply believed that they could afford anything.” The CSU is “kept up again and again by its own bad reputation”.
