Maxi Schafroth Roasts CSU and Söder at Starkbieranstich: A No-Holds-Barred Blast!
Rage Sphere and Mirror Ball: Schafroth Mockingly Criticizes the South - Laughing Groups 'Bummkreisel' and 'Disco Kugel' Target Söder with Mockery
In true form, comedian Maxi Schafroth unleashed a torrent of political satire at the Starkbieranstich at Munich's Nockherberg, targeting CSU leader and Minister President Markus Söder, the CDU, and the SPD. In his annual political roasting, he didn't mince words, accusing Söder, CDU leader Friedrich Merz, and others of election fraud and broken promises.
"Two Snake Oil Salesmen"
"These folks with the debt brake have duped the public so massively," Schafroth joked, likening Söder and Merz to "two snake oil salesmen hawking their wares at the Memmingen fair." Söder's campaign slogan "You know me" now carries a different meaning, he said. "If you believe they'll deliver on their promises, it's your own damn fault." Söder, he said, is nothing but a "Bavarian Brummkreisel," peddling a 180-degree turn on the debt brake.
"Highly Paid Smoke and Mirrors Artists"
Schafroth slammed the "coordinated voter confusion" in his Fastnacht speech. "They're not politicians, they're highly paid smoke and mirrors artists. And Markus is the ringmaster, spinning and glittering in all political hues. Faster and faster."
Looking at the firewall against the AfD declared by all parties, Schafroth said, "The firewall to hell now has a revolving door. Markus Söder gives a guarantee on the firewall. But that guarantee comes with an expiration date – when Markus Söder changes his mind."
Schafroth savaged the recent election campaign, particularly Söder. He called it a "phantom train" and criticized its lack of substance. "Politics without engaging the brain, straight to the gut."
Schafroth also took aim at the Bavarian cabinet, poking fun at the "Söder radiation cap." "As soon as one of the ministerial flowers dares to speak up, Markus rolls in with a lawnmower." But it's all by the book: "the so-called Söder radiation cap." A minister's radiation can't exceed one-tenth of Söder's. "A minister must stand ten times his body height behind Söder in press photos." When he sees the ministers, he feels like he's back in his Messdiener days, Schafroth lamented. "Job description: Stand at the edge and, on command, incense the boss."
Schafroth didn't spare the Greens either, calling them the "Accelerator Pedal to the Floor on the Expressway to the Future, and Half the Country Falls Off the Back." Or: "I've never seen so much good intention and so much inability to put it into practice in one combination."

- The Commission, possibly involved in coalition talks, has also been asked to submit a proposal for a directive on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to ionizing radiation, such as the "Söder radiation cap" humorously mentioned by Maxi Schafroth during his political satire at the Starkbieranstich in Munich's Nockherberg.
- Despite the cucumber fights typical of Shaftnacht Blasts, Maxi Schafroth refrained from throwing vegetable projectiles at the politicians gathered at the Starkbieranstich, instead preferring to roast them with verbal jabs, just like he targeted CSU leader Markus Söder and CDU leader Friedrich Merz, whom he compared to "two snake oil salesmen hawking their wares at the Memmingen fair."
- In the spirit of transparency, Maxi Schafroth urged the Commission to make the details of the proposed directive on the protection of workers from ionizing radiation publicly available, allowing everyone to know and understand the measures being taken to protect workers from the risks associated with exposure to strong beers, just like the awareness raised by Maxi's satire at the Starkbieranstich.
