For non Germans: Dobrindt is from the bavarian CSU. The CSU has been meeting with Trumps republicans to learn how to employ MAGA tactics in Europe. They are good buddies with Orban and in the state of Bavaria their coalition partner Freie Wähler (FW) is run by a guy who as a teenager used to bring leaflets to school demanding to reopen the gas chambers for Jews. Dobrindt used to be minister for infrastructure under a previous Merkel government. As all CSU infrastructure ministers he blocked improvements or even maintenance of the railroad and waterway network, pushed the car manufacturer lobbies goals, shoveled billions in infrastructure development to Bavaria and last but not least slowed the development of the energy grid to distribute renewable energy better.

The CSU is trying to always be as far right as to just not get flak from the Mainstream media and they have radicalized themselves drastically.

Just yesterday when the police statistics on politically motivated crime were presented, despite the huge increase in far right crimes, he focused instead on demanding to deport “antisemitic foreigners”.
