Söder eats kebab, Habeck shows his kitchen table: What was once private is now political. That may not be appropriate to the dignity of the office – but there is no need to despair.
Sometimes Markus Söder makes it pretty easy for those who still believe in seriousness in politics and in reason as such, but not in Söder. At Christmas he recorded the Hansi Hinterseer version of “Winter Wonderland” for his Instagram channel. “You can hear the snow and ice crackling because we are only whispering,” sings the Bavarian Prime Minister and CSU chairman. He looks pensively over the studio microphone into the near distance, in which the astral bodies of Franz Josef Strauss, Rudolf, the red-nosed reindeer, and Frank Sinatra may appear to him: “We feel like Gretel and Hans, wandering through the white winter forest. ” Quite. Gretel and Hans. Even if this text appears here in the features section, an aesthetic assessment of the lyrics or Söder's singing is prohibited because this would hit music critics, who already have a hard time, to their core if they had one.
