Greens Youth Leader’s Instagram Slur of Söder Draws CSU Resignation Demands as Bobga Backtracks

After criticism, Bobga said he regretted the clip’s impact, claiming the song choice unintentionally targeted Söder.

Overview

  • Luis Bobga posted an Instagram lip‑sync to a Haftbefehl track in which a slur is heard as Markus Söder’s photo appears, with captions tailored to current politics.
  • The reel reacted to Söder’s call to reduce the number of German federal states, with on‑screen text criticizing his proposal and politics.
  • CSU parliamentary‑group chief Alexander Hoffmann demanded an apology and deletion of the video, calling Bobga untenable, while other CSU and Free Voters leaders urged him to resign.
  • A Green Youth spokeswoman confirmed the video’s authenticity, and Bobga expressed regret, saying he did not intend to address Söder personally and framing the format as youth‑culture outreach.
  • The incident fuels scrutiny of the Greens’ anti‑hate positioning and echoes a 2025 case in which Bobga’s predecessor insulted Söder in a TikTok video.
