Berlin / Munich (dpa) - Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) has ruled out a move to Berlin after the federal election.
He does not want to change as a possible super minister in a conceivable cabinet of Armin Laschet (CDU), said the CSU politician in the «Bild» talk «The right questions».
"The post is already occupied by Friedrich Merz," said Söder to a question with a slightly ironic undertone.
Söder expects a neck and neck race between the Union and the Greens for the federal election.
The SPD will "of course get over ten percent," he said.
"I would not have thought that the Greens are now so strong in front of us," he said, referring to the current survey results, which the Greens see in part clearly ahead of the Union.
Nevertheless, he ruled out a change of candidate in the Union.
"Armin Laschet is nominated, Armin Laschet is the candidate," said Söder.
He responded with irony to the demand of the CDU politician Friedrich Merz that the CSU should win at least 40 percent in the federal election: “I am totally grateful that Friedrich Merz is helping us.
His experience, especially from the 1990s, which he had as an active politician at the time, certainly helps us. "

In terms of corona policy, Söder considers an extension of the lockdown beyond June to be possible.
«The pandemic fight on the legal basis of the emergency brake continues until June 30th.
Then we'll see what the overall situation is, "he said.
"Just because a law ends, Corona is not over."
Even if the third wave seems to be under control, one shouldn't be mistaken: "We're not quite over the mountain yet."
Söder demanded more speed, for example with the creation of a digital vaccination certificate.
«Every time when it comes to digital options, we need longer, even though we are a super technology country.
With us, the train is always ten minutes late. "
