In every governmental speech I give before state parliament, I say: Bavaria will remain Bavaria.
Angela Merkel and the CDU are not our political adversaries. The CDU and the CSU are sister parties.
Every Saturday I read sentences in SPIEGEL that lack clarity.
Bavaria is a dynamic, cosmopolitan state. Those who don't adapt fall behind.
Germany must remain Germany.
There are nice political formulations that can apply to everyone and to nobody. I wouldn't know how I could be more reserved in my formulations than I already am.
