Söder demands 'firewall to the left' as Berlin coalition talks begin

CSU leader Markus Söder used the Young Union's 'Germany Day' to demand a clear demarcation from the Left, Greens, and SPD, who have agreed to coalition talks in Berlin. This marks an escalation of intra-Union rhetoric against a potential left-wing government, signaling a harder conservative line ahead of federal elections. The demand is largely symbolic but could shape CDU/CSU positioning and coalition dynamics.
