The former Bavarian Prime Minister makes a rare appearance as a “friendship service” for Europe’s leading candidate Manfred Weber. Söder’s name isn’t mentioned, but it’s obviously about him too.
No, Horst Seehofer will not talk about Markus Söder this time either. And: Yes, Seehofer will talk about Söder. Yes, yes, with this man both things go together wonderfully. It is Thursday evening in the Landgasthof Rouherer in Hahnbach in the Upper Palatinate. Horst Seehofer is there to support CSU top candidate Manfred Weber in the European election campaign. A “service of friendship,” says Seehofer, 74. “I don’t know of any argument between the two of us. And what’s more important: I don’t know of any intrigue either.”
