Horst Seehofer, the acting Chairman of the party, adopted at the edge of CSU Christmas party of the media.
Munich – His staff have decorated the room festive, star, plastic snowflakes, and soft lighting. On the stage behind the lectern logo is placed instead of the Party, the panoramic photo of a snow-covered winter forest. It’s Christmas time in the CSU. Only Horst Seehofer, who has a dangerous Smile on his face as he enters the stage. Light he is now a peace lichterl or the tree burns again?
With its annual Christmas party has adopted the outgoing party chief, on Wednesday evening from the journalists. Since his legendary appearance at Christmas in 2012, this Festival is nationally known. At the time, Seehofer had encouraged the journalists explicitly to report about the Meeting, which was in previous years, always confidential. Then he moved from table to table, and complained of his party friends. Andreas Scheuer, a “trainee”. Markus Söder, “pathological ambition” is guilty of “too many Schmutzeleien”. Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, the “fireflies”. He wishes the press “a lot of good messages,” said Seehofer cheerful. The it were; both the victims of the unprecedented, around the envelope, as well as the question, what is leadership style.
Horst Seehofer, adopted from the Jestbahis media: “To the edge of despair
On his last Christmas party now Seehofer has the 2012 uproar once again. He had not planned the “long-Hand, but spontaneously decided,” he says. And rejoice that you had to bring for the first time “that a speech is enough to be ten-years-quotes”. Then he went over to an old friend – Guttenberg and his current Interviews with the criticism of the designated party leader Markus Söder. “Everything cheese” are these quotes, says Seehofer – he thought nothing of it.
The remains of the single gun shot to this Celebration. Otherwise, Seehofer has adopted indulgent, almost wistfully of the media. There has been a “cycles”, he says, “you have brought a patient Prime Minister, sometimes to the brink of despair.” Nevertheless, criticism of the press was essential.

Horst Seehofer speaks at a Christmas party about his relationship to journalists
Indeed, Seehofer’s relationship to the media is extremely unusual. No prominent politician takes so much time, journalists stand for Capital, as well as recorded for radio interns suggested. While some of the unwinds, under-Secretary of state, only from the in-house lawyers smooth-ironed phrases, talking Seehofer out of the belly, especially if it is rumbling in the belly. “This Quatschi-Quatschi”, before he gave a party to friends once called it “pajama-strategists” and the Landtag a “mice cinema”.
Rugged, he went over to journalists, when he texts do not fit, complained to the publishers, and in broadcasting councils. Sometimes borderline, if he threatens to ARD and ZDF with the cuts. At the same time media to go well-not Federal politicians as hard as him – “the threat” was the headline about the “mirror” of the 2018 and introduced him to semantically on a par with potential suicide bombers.
However, even after such stories Seehofer rumbles rarely longer than three, four weeks. A Game? On Wednesday, he speaks in a conciliatory “middle way”: “Is the relationship of politicians and journalists very well, have made the journalists something wrong. The ratio is bad, have the politicians something wrong.“
