The basis of the CSU is longing for a change of leadership - and after the Frankish baron Guttenberg. There will be a coup at the party not yet, too low, the memory is seated at the loss of majority after the fall of Stoiber.
Horst Seehofer is to be pitied: He is the great misunderstood the Republic. First it was just - to record a word of his idol Franz Josef Strauss - the political pygmies far from the Alps, could not understand and did what the spirit world gave birth in the Zirbelstube Seehoferschen the State Chancellery.
That in the office of the Chancellor's Office was puzzled about his fickleness that the FDP twitched under his needle sticks, Seehofer had not annoy: That was part of his job description as CSU chairman and Bavarian Minister President. However, it was made Seehofer now how many actors who identify too closely with a roll: He pointed his positions so much on what he considers the necessity of the political moment that he no longer understands his own party.
Who bravely in the second, third or fourth row behind the President marches, must have very keen senses, so it does not escape when the tip once again prepared an abrupt turn - be it that Seehofer carries the conscription to the dustbin of history, be it that he the retirement age to 67 years to disposition.
What the small and big officials of the CSU makes life difficult are not the corrections itself - which is part of everyday political life in a rapidly changing world. The CSU had to be more anxious to strike sometimes conservative, sometimes liberal, sometimes social tones in the past decades, they wanted to preserve their majority in the ability of a diverse societies. That it was an abundance of melody do not always, especially not in-Chancellor and Registrar inner ears, was one of their principles of success.
A home for farmer and software engineers
The trick that not only the Miesbach Bauer and mountain shot, but the Munich-based software engineer in the CSU found a political home, but could only succeed with a careful orchestration. At the beginning of the third year of his presidency, the CSU is in a bitter truth by not: From the talented soloists Seehofer has not even become an average conductor.
He switches on the front desk so fast, so suddenly, so notice the scores that even experienced players in the CSU group in the Bundestag and the CSU parliamentary group missing a beat. Even in summer Seehofer argued against a professional army and raised his military service to a feature of his party identity. Then he swept her breath Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg aside in the neck. The CSU-infantry, consisting of the view Seehofer from the party minus his person remained no other choice but to confess quickly, the military service have always been skeptical of standing and because of the party leaders now complete clarity about their own position to have.
Verbal slaps for retirement at 67
In Seehofer's presidency are tasks in the party - even if only a local leader - to a safe work become inclined. Who explained at a meeting of the party line, he has just been researched more on the CSU website, do not know if he has heard on his return to the news is not exactly the opposite from the mouth of the Chairman. Who may be picked up at an information booth verbal slaps on the retirement age to 67, if the chairman can suddenly know that there are so serious about increasing the retirement age back would not be meant?
Seehofer knows his party does not - and they did not: It is rooted longing for a CSU Chairman Guttenberg. But the media hype surrounding the Frankish barons could seduce the CSU do not share the production, which led to the fall Edmund Stoiber, again on the board - so much self-respect it still has, even though, since they are in Bavaria no longer alone ruled, a mere shadow of itself.
The party is in mind but with what skill Guttenberg drives the Bundeswehr reform, as he seeks to convince its own ranks and not playing the flight into the headlines quickly.
The best of a narcissistic game
A coup, there will be at the CSU party congress next weekend, on which the party leadership does not stand for election, but not, too strong in the mind of the party present that the revolutionary upsurge that Stoiber to pay for his offices in the loss of absolute majority resulted.
Seehofer's situation is not stabilized by permanent, that the delegates little other choice than to make a good face on his self-indulgent game. Change he does not - and there is little sign that he can change it - he will have to make sooner rather than later the way, are not quite rudimentary instincts of his party to power.
