Comeback of the election campaign magicians: Markus Söder's rise
Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder, a prominent figure in the CSU, found himself in the midst of a serious crisis in 2022. Recently, however, his poll numbers have increased significantly. This development is seen by many observers as remarkable, as Söder appears to have found a new role that allows him to appear more confident and feel comfortable in this position.
The political parties in the traffic light alliance are apparently not reacting appropriately to the emerging strength of Markus Söder. His return to the political arena is even viewed by some as something of a miracle. This newfound dynamism appears to provide Söder with an energy that allows him to act in unconventional ways and appeal to a broader electorate.
With regard to political constellations, Markus Söder expressed optimism at LEG24 about a possible political signal that could come from a government without the Greens. For some observers, this would be a step in a new political direction. It remains to be seen what impact Söder's increasing popularity and the changing political climate in Germany will have in the long term.
