Green Youth Leader Faces Resignation Calls After Instagram Slur Aimed at Söder

The post riffed on a Deutschrap track reacting to Markus Söder’s proposal to cut the number of German federal states.

Overview

  • Luis Bobga, co-leader of the Green youth wing, posted an Instagram clip that displayed a photo of Markus Söder alongside the word "Hurensohn" while lip‑syncing a rap lyric.
  • A Grüne Jugend spokesperson confirmed the video’s authenticity to the dpa news agency.
  • Bobga expressed regret, said he did not intend to address Söder directly with the insult, and framed the format as youth outreach using Deutschrap.
  • CSU leaders, joined by Bavarian Free Voters figures, demanded an apology, deletion of the clip, and Bobga’s resignation, calling the language unacceptable.
  • Green party leadership noted Bobga’s apology, and as of the latest reports no disciplinary action or enforced resignation has been announced; the episode echoes a 2025 insult of Söder by Bobga’s predecessor Jette Nietzard.
