Aiwanger heads the populist Free Voters party which governs Bavaria in coalition with Soeder's Christian Social Union (CSU). Soeder has previously said he wants to renew his alliance with the Free Voters after October's election. The leaders of the Social Democrats and Greens in Bavaria, said Aiwanger must stand down if he was the author of the flyer.
