Markus Söder rejects speculation about super ministers

Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder on Monday dismissed speculation that he could serve as a "super minister" in a possible future cabinet under a CDU chancellor. In a statement after a meeting of the CSU executive board, the CSU chairman emphasized that he would rather be a “super prime minister” than a “super minister.” He described these debatable speculations as tactical maneuvers, referring to his predecessor Horst Seehofer, who once spoke of “pyjama strategists”.

Markus Söder's clear rejection of a possible role as super minister in a future cabinet signals his adherence to his position as Prime Minister of Bavaria. His clear statement sheds light on the political landscape and the discussions within the CDU/CSU parties about potential government participation and distribution of offices.

It is important to emphasize that Markus Söder puts his priority on the role of Prime Minister and considers this his preferred position. Through his clear words he shows that he has no interest in serving in any other role that does not serve the well-being of Bavaria.

Markus Söder's statement should be viewed as a clear statement on speculation about a possible role in a future cabinet under a CDU chancellor. His decision to serve as prime minister in Bavaria rather than as super minister in Berlin underlines his commitment to his office and the interests of his federal state.
