Federal election 2025: Germany is looking for the super candidate – Gloss – Bavaria

Munich, December 31st. Shortly before the turn of the year, the television castings began with the top candidates for the federal election. Surprisingly, Free Voters leader Hubert Aiwanger missed the recall on Monday. Aiwanger impresses with his version of the children’s classic “Brother, come dance with me” in Rottenburg’s Laabertal Hall. In a direct duel for advancement (battle), however, he was defeated by BSW chairman Sahra Wagenknecht, who sang the well-known peace song “Do you think the Russians want war?” together with the sailors’ choir of the Black Sea Fleet.

At the initiative of the Bavarian state government in the Broadcasting Council, the public service decision foregoes TV debates before this election. Instead, the top candidates compete in a singing competition.
