My Take
Markus Söder fascinates me as a politician who blends Bavarian regional pride with sharp national ambition. What I find compelling is the duality: a Capricorn climber who reached the Minister-President's office through patience, yet someone whose résumé includes journalism and law, hinting at a more textured mind than the usual party operator. The mix of serious state honors and lighter, humor-tinged awards suggests a man who knows that politics is also performance. I respect operators who can be calculating and charming at once, and Söder reads to me as exactly that kind of durable, self-aware regional heavyweight.
