Bavarian State Governor Markus Soeder, center, waves as he arrives besides German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer, right, and Secretary General Markus Blume, left, at a party convention of the German Christian Social Union in Munich, Germany, Saturday, Sept. 15, 2018. “In the next four weeks we need confidence not fear, unity not bickering, commitment not complacency,” Horst Seehofer, who heads the center-right CSU, said at a party convention in Munich. Recent opinion polls predict the CSU could win just 35 percent of the vote on Oct. 14. In 2013, the party received almost 48 percent of votes, allowing it to govern alone. “Fight, fight, fight,” Soeder told party members at the Munich convention.
