Cardinal Marx has no sympathy for the fact that Seehofer links the deportation of 69 Afghans to his birthday. Söder also criticizes the Catholic theologian – and warns CSU against a legal course.
D The President of the German Bishops' Conference, Cardinal Reinhard Marx, criticizes CSU head Horst Seehofer and Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) for their words. The Federal Minister of the Interior, Seehofer, linked his 69th birthday to 69 deportations the same day, calling the "Archbishop of Munich" "highly inappropriate".
Seehofer presented his migration master plan to the press on July 10: "On my 69th birthday, 69 people were returned to Afghanistan – which I did not order." With an apparently amused expression on the part of the minister, the statement was indignant.

Marx commented on the crucifix dispute in Bavaria that he was in favor of the cross in the public space. However, he had criticized the reasoning and the nature of the implementation. "The cross is not a symbol of demarcation used for tactical considerations or for political staging." It would have been better to talk to all social groups, including atheists or other religions, so that they could understand what the cross represents, and that it is a sign that can connect to the light. of the dignity of every human being, said the Catholic theologian.
Already after the decree of Prime Minister Söder to hang crosses in all Bavarian authorities open conflict between Marx and CSU came. The cardinal acknowledged that there had been a "surprising start" [traduction] between him and the prime minister, who had been in power since March.
