The author described the contribution as a heavy setback for Markus Söder and the CSU. He wrote that Söder had invoked the economic power of Bavaria in front of an applauding party audience in Munich, while Söder and Friedrich Merz were allegedly preparing a plea letter to Ursula von der Leyen regarding the phase-out of internal combustion engines. At the same time, he claimed that Audi was relocating thousands of jobs to the USA and manufacturing internal combustion engines and SUVs of the Q series there. In his view, Bavaria and Germany were merely "paper giants"; "Made in Germany" represented technology and know-how that were being transferred abroad. He accused politics of only making empty announcements to appease the left-green mainstream, and concluded with a gloomy greeting to Bavaria. #Bayern #Wirtschaft #Automobilindustrie (translated)
