Söder Scales Back Food Posts, Pivots to Politics on Social Media

He says a deteriorating global backdrop requires a more serious tone.

Overview

  • Söder, who confirmed the shift in a Friday interview with the Münchner Merkur, said he will post far fewer eating photos and focus on policy.
  • He said the economic and foreign-policy situation is worsening week by week, so his communication will reflect that reality.
  • He acknowledged party criticism after March’s municipal elections, when the CSU won 32.5% but logged its weakest local result since 1952.
  • He said he sees no need to reshuffle the Bavarian cabinet and described his ministers as established and proven in their briefs.
  • His feed had already toned down food content in recent weeks, with the last typical eating shots in March during campaign stops such as a grill event in Gunzenhausen.
