So, down in Bavaria....there's a political party that is a partner to the CSU, in the coalition. It's the Freie Wahler (Free Voter) Party. Their regional boss is Hubert Aiwanger, and because of the agreement worked out in the coalition....he's the Deputy-Minister President (meaning the number two guy of the Bavarian government, after Markus Soder).
Well....it came up this week....Aiwanger has NOT accomplished the Covid-19 vaccination. It's public knowledge at this point.
Soder reaction? Fairly direct, he wants Aiwanger to get with the program, or 'justify it'.
If I were to qualify Aiwanger's successes or criticisms....he earns some respect (he got the Bavarian state government to dump the street tax on renovation to streets) and he is disliked because of direct negative comments that he has made on migrants coming into the county.
As for the vaccination situation? From the whole cabinet underneath Soder....Aiwanger is the only one without the vaccination. I suspect that he's gearing up for a challenge.
As for the state numbers presently? Bavaria reports around 52-percent of folks have a minimum of the first shot.
Could Aiwanger get fired? No. The worst that could come at this point....Soder does some stupid crap, and suddenly the Free Voter Party vacates the coalition, and triggers another election to occur. I'm guessing Soder doesn't want to create that type of mess. He might try to suggest anyone on the cabinet who doesn't do the vaccination....has to do a PCR test to attend meetings.
