CSU rails against the left: “Söder should rather take care of the free voters”

C hristian Specht, born in 1969, is politically active and advocates for more opportunities for people with disabilities to participate in the media. Since 2017 he has been the first person with a disability on the Lebenshilfe board. He has an office at the taz and (irregularly) draws the “Woodpecker of the Week”.

The Left Party can be seen here and a fire extinguisher on the right. I also wrote CSU. A wall can also be seen, in the form of bricks. Söder recently spoke and cursed the left. During his speech at the Junge Union he said something about firewalls. I painted the fire extinguisher because Söder wants to wash away the Left Party.

What I don't understand about the CSU is that it governs with the SPD. In their logic, they shouldn't actually govern with this party. Söder would actually have to rail against the SPD if he also did the same against the left. Because the CSU is also very different from the SPD. But Söder likes to complain, for example about the Greens. “You can’t form a government with these,” he said.

But I'm glad that the Left Party exists, in the Bundestag and elsewhere - the SPD used to be a workers' party and looked after the people, but it doesn't do that anymore.

I think that everyone from the Left Party should go to the SPD in order to change the SPD so that they are stronger together. Then there is less competition between the two and less rivalry. And Söder should take care of Bavaria and the Free Voters instead of ranting about the Left Party.
