What We Know About the "Tender Male Friendship"
The Bavarian leader described the relationship between Merz and Scholz with surprising words. There was talk of a "tender male friendship" – a phrase that makes you sit up and take notice!

Söder, known for his pointed remarks, appeared visibly amused as he spoke about the new dynamics in political Berlin. The talk show audience got a rare insight into the personal relationships of the top politicians.

The statements of the CSU leader come at a time of political upheaval. After the end of the traffic light coalition, CDU/CSU and SPD are forming a new government – with Friedrich Merz as the designated chancellor.

What Does This Mean for German Politics?
Political friendships across party lines are not unusual, but Söder's description suggests a particularly close connection. For the political landscape, this could mean that the transition to the new government may proceed more smoothly than expected.
Whether Söder deliberately wanted to cause a stir with his statements or whether the remark slipped out more casually remains open. What is clear, however, is that the CSU leader has once again proven that he is good for surprising moments in the political daily business.
