meIn the fight against the extremely growing number of corona infections in the Upper Bavarian district of Berchtesgadener Land, Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) wants to impose a “lockdown”. There will be a “comprehensive package of measures” “corresponding to a lockdown,” Söder said Monday after a virtual meeting of the CSU board of directors. Bavarian Health Minister Melanie Huml (CSU) should work out the details together with the district and the Upper Bavarian government.
With a 7-day incidence of 252.1, the district is the most affected in Germany, with an increase in recent days. It is clear that the situation that always wanted to avoid has arisen there: according to Söder, contacts “can no longer be traced”, so they must be “fundamentally restricted, with regard to events, with regard to external contacts “. You have to “apply the strictest protocol at this point to regain control of the infection process as quickly as possible.” Söder named the proximity to the Austrian hotspot Kuchl in Salzburger Land and a party as the reasons for the outbreak.
Meanwhile, the CSU supports an expansion of special crown rights for Health Minister Jens Spahn. This has the “backing” of Bavaria, Söder said. He rejected criticism from MPs that parliaments should decide more in the fight against the crown. Parliaments would be involved in all laws. Respect for the constitutional order also means that there are laws that regulate the “statutory powers of the respective executive”.
In this context, Söder harshly criticized the FDP. He urged her to “think again if the course that is being imposed together with the AfD is really the right one for the country.” Even before the meeting he had said: “There is not only the AfD, there are also other political forces that try every day to put all the measures into perspective and almost call on the population not to participate.” However, looking for excuses to circumvent pandemic measures does not do justice to the situation. Liberal heads of government like Mark Rutte in the Netherlands have shown this too. He settled on the “most difficult concepts”.
Söder for a uniform mask ruler
Earlier, for example, the president of the FDP, Christian Lindner, demanded that the situation of the crown not be “overdramatized”. FDP Vice President and Bundestag Vice President Wolfgang Kubicki warned that democracy would be damaged if major decisions in the fight against the crown pandemic continued to be made by the federal government or state governments instead of the Bundestag. Kubicki said Sunday night at the “Bild” talk “The right questions”: “If we, as parliament, do not fulfill our task now, democracy will be permanently damaged.”
Before the board meeting, Söder had already requested a nationwide mask requirement for regions with high crown numbers. If there are more than 35 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days, a mask requirement should be applied in schools, in highly frequented public places and also at work, if the minimum distances cannot be observed, he said. the Bavarian Prime Minister.
When asked what he thinks of the fact that the sister party CDU intends to hold a presence party congress in December, Söder said: The party must decide for itself. He added: “We have made a very clear decision that we do not consider a meeting of 1000 people justifiable at this time.” On the one hand by the infection, on the other hand by the “role model”. It is very important in the coming weeks, “to maintain the motivation and participation of the population, that there are no special rights and privileges for parties or politicians.” Everyone must adhere to the same rules – “and I can’t imagine we passed another event with 1000 people.” Perhaps there is the possibility of voting by mail, “that even seems possible in the United States.” So it surprises him that “people it still clings to it, but we don’t decide it, it depends on the CDU ”.
