Söder invites Follower to the kebab: a culinary thank you in Nuremberg

The Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder shows how important contact with the citizens is. On Tuesday, July 30, 2024, he will have a special surprise in his favorite kebab shop "Mevlana" in Nuremberg for some of his online followers. Under the hashtag #Söderisst, he has established a connection to his 500,000 followers for some time and would like to express a thank you with this campaign.

commitment to social media: personal access to voters

Markus Söder has established itself as one of the most successful politicians in the field of social media. With his everyday posts about food, especially kebab, he inspires his followers. The selected 40 participants who can take part in the kebab meal are all the more happy. The initial planning to invite only five people was adapted to the number of participants due to the great interest. "I don't even know if there are so many kebabs in Bavaria in one fell swoop," Söder joked, which increases the enthusiasm for his actions.

preparation for the big event: a look behind the scenes

To prepare for the event, Söder practices his skills on the kebab spit in advance. In a short video he shows himself in his cooking jacket as he tries to cut doners. "Of course I can't do it perfectly, but I will try a little bit," he says and draws the attention of his followers. Some users are critical of his technology, which in turn underlines the connection between politics and everyday life in a humorous way.

kebab as a symbol for community

The kebab meal not only serves the personal encounter, but also symbolically stands for the connection of people through love for eating. The operator of "Mevlana", Nesrin Can, describes Söder as "very, very dear people", who is often a guest in her restaurant. Her positive feedback on his personality shows that with his actions he not only arrives politically, but also emotionally with people.

a community event with surprises

Söder also took care of those who cannot take part in the event: 500 T-shirts with the inscription "Söder Kebab" is raffled off. This campaign also addresses the people who may not be able to participate directly in the event, but still want to remain part of the community.

Overall, the event by Markus Söder shows how social media can be used to get in touch with the population and how important such personal encounters are in politics. The mixture of humor, food and personal commitment creates a space for exchange and shows that politicians are "only people" who appreciate the simple joys of life.
