On Friday, September 10th, a CSU party conference took place in Nuremberg. Markus Söder devoted himself to one topic in particular and railed against “gender fines”.
Nuremberg – At the last party conference of the CSU on Friday, September 10, 2021, Bavaria’s Prime Minister Markus Söder found clear words on the inflammatory gender debate. “It cannot be that we get some kind of gender law or a gender penalty ticket,” complained the politician. Söder is vehemently opposed to any language regulations that could oblige people to use gender-sensitive language.
24hamburg.de reveals the background why Söder is now taking action against gender language *.
Gender-appropriate language has long been an issue in politics. Representatives of the change in language, which addresses all genders equally, are politicians from the Greens. Annalena Baerbock already explained the gender-equitable processing of legal texts * as one of her potential goals as Chancellor and her colleague Katharina Fegebank recently established gender language in Hamburg’s authorities *.
But as the call from Hamburg’s CDU leader for a gender ban * had already shown, gender-fair language does not only meet with approval. The CSU’s appeal is clear: “The spasmodic choice of gender language has to be avoided in authorities and educational institutions,” according to a recent motion by the party. * 24hamburg.de and Kreiszeitung.de are offers from IPPEN.MEDIA.
