"Sham and piety borders obviously don't exist: Söder indignant with photos of Pope's funeral

The CSU boss can be photographed among the mourners in Rome. However, his pictures are not well received by some. From Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann (FDP) there is criticism – and from the Union.

In social media, Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder is regarded as the master of self-representation. However, according to critics, he has now gone too far.

As part of the German delegation, Bavaria's Prime Minister Söder also travels to the funeral service for the late Pope Francis. Arriving in Rome, he documents his visit with selfies and other recordings. However, in the eyes of some, he feels the right feeling for the situation.

Markus Söder is in Rome today for the funeral of Pope Francis. The funeral will be followed by the CSU chief in St. Peter's Square from the second row.

This time, the Pope's funeral must be without Bavarian folklore, and the chances that traditionals and mountain shooters will march for the election of the next Pontifex are also small. Then they have to orient themselves in the direction of Berlin.
