Söder Hardens CSU Stance Against Greens, Free Voters, and AfD Ahead of Elections

Bavarian CSU leader Markus Söder has confirmed a hardline conservative stance, rejecting the Greens and warning the Free Voters, indicating potential coalition shifts ahead of the 2028 Bavarian state election. Concurrently, Söder is advocating for an 'extremism clause' in both the Minister Presidents' Conference (MPK) alignment and German fiscal equalization, a confirmed domestic political move targeting the AfD's influence. The proposed clauses are unlikely to become law but signal a hardening of CSU rhetoric and strategy against the far-right.
