The Members Want the Floor

At Bayern Munich’s annual general meeting on 25 November 2021, a member had moved that the club end its sponsorship by Qatar Airways. The motion was not put to a vote. The vice president said: Ich werde hier nicht zulassen, dass wir über rechtswidrige Anträge abstimmen. I will not allow us to vote here on unlawful motions. Many members missed an open debate on Qatar and human rights. They chanted Wir sind Bayern – und ihr nicht, we are Bayern, and you are not. After midnight, president Herbert Hainer closed the list of speakers, and the meeting ended amid protests. The member who had made the motion later reported that Hainer had called him.
