On Markus Söder’s birthday: his daughter congratulates him with children’s photos

Bavaria’s Prime Minister Markus Söder is celebrating his 58th birthday this Sunday (January 5th). His daughter Gloria-Sophie Burkandt (26) took the opportunity to pay tribute to her father on his special day.

“Dear Dad, happy birthday to the most inspiring person I know (+Mom)!” she wrote in a series of pictures. The photos show the father-daughter duo at current events, and children’s photos in which Söder holds his daughter in his arms look back into the past. “Today as we celebrate you, I want to take a moment to honor not only the incredible father that you are, but also the visionary leader who is making a difference,” the 26-year-old continued.

Her father has always been “a source of strength, wisdom and determination.” “But more than that, you are a force for change – a man who sees what Germany can be and works tirelessly to make it happen. Your commitment to saving this country, be it through your actions, your values ​​or yours Vision, I deeply admire.” Germany can consider itself lucky to have someone like her father, “and I am proud to call you my father,” Burkandt continued in the public congratulations.

This year she wishes her father “all the strength and support you need to continue your journey. And may you always remember how much you are loved and appreciated, not only by me, but by everyone who thinks of you and believe your work.” The model ended the post with: “Here’s to another year of awesomeness, Dad. I love you endlessly.”

The 26-year-old is Markus Söder’s eldest daughter and comes from a previous relationship with the Bavarian Prime Minister. Markus Söder also has three children with his wife Karin Baumüller-Söder (born 1973).

The birthday child herself also got in touch. The politician wrote about a birthday cake with a candle in the shape of a five: “Another year more! Thank you for all the good wishes that have been reaching me since early in the morning. I am very happy and honored.”
