In Bavaria there exists the tradition of giving political speeches on Ash Wednesday (the end of carnival, or something like that, not being a Christian I do not really know). The leader of the conservative Bavarian CSU Edmund Stoiber talked for two hours in front of beer drinking members of his party. The last quarter of his speech was dedicated to the issues of 'migration'. And they were very successful with the audience. No wonder as they catered for their racist and islamophobic sentiments. A little bit was there also for the homophobic ones.

Just one small translation as an example for the racist character of the speech. He obviously was not happy about Venor Muñoz inspecting the German school system, criticised it for being an incompetent inspection and ended with:

"This Mr. Muñoz came directly from the black african Botswana to Germany. I say very clearly: Do not mistake Germany for Botswana. And I add: Bavaria is not Botswana. To make this very clear!"
