In further signs that the Scottish referendum on independence is inspiring secessionist movements across Europe, Germany’s Bavaria Party has signalled its support for the Scottish Yes campaign amidst hopes that Bavaria could also become independent.
This was to be expected, I guess. But I’m just not sure yet if these are the Bavarians who want Bavaria to secede or the rest of Germany.
Wollt Ihr nich auch die Bayern loswerden? Dann wählt die Bayernpartei.
I don’t even know how to answer that, not being (in spite of accusations) German. I remember being accused, in Berlin in 1977, of being one of “those” Bavarians. The Berliner certainly seemed ready to dismiss Bavaria@
I know I LIKED Bavaria better, having lived there as a child in the ’60’s and as an adult in the 80’s.
Yeah, that’s a strange thing about the Bavarians and the Nordlichter (northern lights) up here. The “problem” with the Bavarians is that they could care less what anybody up here thinks about them. And more power to them. They don’t cringe at things like “Tradition” or “Heimat” even (some even use the word “Vaterland”). They’re into Volksmusik down there, for crying out loud. They’re not neurotic like everybody else, in other words.
