German commentator Hape Kerkeling is at the centre of criticism aimed at the CDU and CSU, with accusations that the parties view him as too left-leaning despite his insistence on being non-partisan. Commentators argue the real issue is his clear anti-fascism, saying it should be uncontroversial in the body that elects Germany's president, and that the episode shows how far political discourse has sunk.
Why now: A well-known entertainer being deemed politically problematic for an ostensibly non-partisan constitutional role has struck a nerve in the German debate about the mainstream right's relationship to anti-fascism.
