to green, The CSU, without blushing. The party wants to sharpen your neglected environmental political profile. Markus Söder speaks of dying animals.
Munich – Who on 1. January turned to 18:40 at the TV, could clearly see Markus Söder. But if you got to hear real Söder, made some citizens doubt. He said, first and foremost, and a long time of dying animals (“many species are disappearing very quietly”), healthy air, sustainability, and of the world, to give to the grandchildren. Söders words were that of a deeply moving Green.
intention, there is no misunderstanding. The new year’s speech of the Prime Minister is the loudest evidence of a course correction the new CSU-Leading you back to the environmental policy to the centre. “The world has changed. Thus the policy,“ says Söder of our newspaper. “There are new deep currents. Our children are growing up now with a much greater sensitivity for the climate.“
Söder of the CSU, to date, almost without exception, on the side of the economy
A bit of may be Amazed. With the exception of his time as environment Minister from 2008 to 2011 Söder and his CSU parliamentary group in the consideration of economic/environmental most tend to be on side of the economy. Clearly the CSU for the third runway, which is positioned against a third national Park, for the Expansion of the ski resorts in the Allgäu, for relaxed rules for the construction of commercial areas.
For some months a u-turn runs. Some of this is due to the coalition agreement with the liberal voters, such as the runway, Moratorium or restoration of the Alpine plan. Söder recognized by the state election, the CSU must correct your strategy. In the cities and in Parts of upper Bavaria the CSU lost more than 150,000 votes to the Greens; roughly in the Dimension of migration to the AfD. Urban, often well-to-do, the core of non-voters on the left voted for the first time, green.
environment for Söder “a urkonservative setting”
urban sprawl around and sealing are no longer g’spinnerten Eco, but move the middle of society. Environmental protection is a “urkonservative setting,” says Söder today. “We have been as a CSU, unfortunately, in the last few years, too little.”
Shortly after the election, he decided not to form a coalition with the Greens, but to plow their content. The implementation starts this Tuesday: The Council of Ministers will initiate in the morning, an Amendment to the Constitution.

Concrete CO2 targets are in the shape of a Law
come to The Cabinet pushes in addition, a climate protection law. Söder promises specific CO2 targets in the shape of a Law: by 2030, under five tons per capita per year until 2050 under two tons. In the supply of energy, he penetrates to a balance of interests between Ecology and industry policy: a new Design of the Gas market, a higher share of tenders in the case of renewable energies. Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg to develop a “real South Initiative”.
The conditions for the black-Green campaign are not easy. The Ministry of the environment captured in the fall of the Free voters. In the case of the professional politicians, the CSU experienced a change of generation: Josef Göppel (68) from Ansbach, the “green Conscience” of the party, went as a volunteer to retire, the Minister Marcel Huber and Ulrike Scharf lost their Offices. The upper Bavarian Landtag Deputy Martin Huber (41) moves slowly. He should also prepare a great environment Congress in 2019.
Dobrindt and flower attack the Green
part 2 of the CSU-tactics: the Green attack. Of a “fear party” talks country group leader Alexander Dobrindt. Secretary-General Markus flower said this week of the “SZ” even the Greens “stir up the fear of the end of the world and derive a policy of Prohibition”. An “eco-populist party” was.
Söder itself is from the 19th century. January, the CSU lead, but from the party political crudities. “For me, is quite clear: The Greens have reached their Zenith,” says Söder. “We want to show that in Bavaria, a green policy without the Green is possible.”
