π©πͺπΊπ₯¨Oktoberfest parades over policy: German politicians dress up to drown out reality
Downtown Munich turned into a sea of dirndls and lederhosen on Sunday as thousands joined the traditional Bavarian costume parade β a highlight of Oktoberfest since 1950.
πΉ Bavarian Prime Minister Markus SΓΆder proudly marched in full traditional attire, blending into the pageantry of the festival.
Online, however, a different scene unfolded. Critics seized on the imagery, contrasting the politicians' very public celebration with the country's raging crises. To them, the spectacle seemed less a cultural celebration and more a strategic escape from pressing political realities.
