Bavaria's governor leaves his deputy in office despite a furor over antisemitism allegations
The governor of the German state of Bavaria indicated on Sunday that he will let his deputy stay in office despite charges that he was responsible for an antisemitic pamphlet 35 years ago when he was a high school student. Governor Markus Soeder, a key member in Germany's center-right opposition, said it would be "disproportionate" to replace his deputy and coalition partner, Hubert Aiwanger, but Aiwanger needed to reestablish trust with the Jewish community and others.
