No April Fool's joke!
Söder posts bizarre video with “mega Easter egg”
Bavaria's Minister President Markus Söder (CSU) made a name for himself on Easter Sunday with a bizarre video. In a 35-second sequence that he published on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), he praised an oversized chocolate Easter egg that bore his own face.
"Hi, it's Easter. I didn't find a sweater for Easter, but I did find a super Easter egg, a mega chocolate Easter egg. It smells wonderful," said the CSU leader, who likes to show off his reindeer sweater at Christmas. As he said this, an animated white rabbit hopped through the picture.
"Why are you doing this?"
"What is particularly successful is that it has been painted in a very interesting way," said Söder, turning the egg around and showing that it has a portrait of himself on it, with the words "Happy Easter" underneath.
"If you like it and find it interesting, then comment on it and we'll raffle it off among the comments. It will still be super fresh in a few days and anyone who likes it can get it. Happy Easter and - my super Easter egg," he said - and earned some incredulous comments: "Why would you do that Markus?" someone wrote.
Not an April Fool's joke!
It was actually a raffle, a CSU spokesperson said on Sunday when asked, and not an April Fool's joke.
