reCSU recently celebrated its 75th anniversary. Under normal circumstances, it would have been celebrated with roars at a party congress. It has shown quite often that the party chairman, Markus Söder, in particular, does not usually shy away from this. But Corona frustrated CSU this year. He decided not to do things by halves and immediately moved the convention from the party entirely to the virtual one. This did not seem inconvenient for the party leader in particular. His address to the 700 or so delegates in front of the “end devices” for which he had sat behind his desk in the CSU state administration was, it must be said, great cinema.
It started with the cup. “Winter is coming” was written on it. It is the motto of the politically closed fantasy series “Game of Thrones.” Söder has already applied it several times to the possible threatening development of the pandemic in the coming months. Even at the little party conference in May, he had a mug by his side, back then with a Star Trek motif, and the bottom line was that the response was overwhelming. This time, the party leader used the drinking cup at a crucial point, which will only be revealed in the course of the article. We copied this suspense technology from the two party congress moderators, Party Vice President Dorothee Bär and CSU General Secretary Markus Blume.
