After the mask affair, the CSU is clearly losing approval in Bavaria, according to an Internet survey.

According to the representative survey for the “Augsburger Allgemeine”, the Christian Socials only come to 41.6 percent, which is more than four percentage points less than in the previous month.

For the first time since the beginning of the corona pandemic, the CSU would miss a possible absolute majority in the state parliament in the event of an election.

According to the survey by the Civey Institute, the Greens in Bavaria would get 19.5 percent if there were state elections on Sunday.

The SPD would have 10.2 percent, the AfD 8.1 and the Free Voters 7.7 percent.

With 4.9 percent, the FDP would have to fear re-entry into parliament.

According to a second survey, satisfaction with Prime Minister Markus Söder is also falling.

46.5 percent are rather or very dissatisfied with the work of the Bavarian head of government.

According to the answers, only just under 44 percent are very or somewhat satisfied with the CSU boss, not quite 10 percent are undecided.

According to the newspaper, these are the worst values ​​for Söder since autumn 2018. In mid-April 2020, at the beginning of the pandemic, he had approval values ​​of 71 percent.

Söder himself warned against using the current mask affair for the election campaign.

"It must not happen that an attempt is made to turn it into an election campaign from other bodies," said the Bavarian Prime Minister on Friday in Nuremberg.

The CDU and CSU had taken the necessary steps quickly and consistently.

"It is undisputed that there was an overall damage, a major one." He could not predict whether the recently announced incidents would have consequences for the state elections in Rhineland-Palatinate and Baden-Württemberg on Sunday.

Söder emphasized that it was right that a fundamental debate about the complex subject of lobby registers, parties and donations had arisen as a result of the incidents.

Helping in the crisis is the order of the day for everyone, "but not making money with it."

It was therefore also important to consistently punish the known, serious cases.

Such behavior is unacceptable and fundamentally revised rules of conduct are needed for the future.
