The number of corona infections is increasing rapidly: On Sunday morning, the RKI reported 11,176 new infections in one day, citing figures from health authorities. The day before it was 14,714.
In an internal change, Chancellor Angela Merkel (66, CDU) is now raising the alarm again!
According to information from the BILD, the Chancellor warned in an interview with the leaders of the CDU parliamentary group of the federal states on Sunday night: “We are facing very, very difficult months!”
Merkel was also concerned about the upcoming Prime Minister’s Conference on October 30. She “doesn’t have a good feeling,” the Chancellor said. “It can’t go on like this.”
Merkel and the self-infected Health Minister Jens Spahn (40, CDU) had already made urgent appeals to the population and asked again for help to contain the corona pandemic.
“Please continue to help and don’t listen to those who trivialize and appease. It’s serious, ”Spahn said in a video posted on his Facebook page on Sunday.
The day before, Merkel had repeated her call from the previous week on her video podcast, asking people to refrain from traveling and networking. In view of the dramatic rise in crown numbers, the CDU party congress scheduled for early December, at which the successor to CDU leader Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer will be elected, is also shaking.
Meanwhile, opponents of the crown protection measures gathered in various demonstrations in Berlin on Sunday. The police reported at the beginning of several hundred participants.
The Berlin police also dealt with an incident on Sunday night: according to police reports, unknown persons had attacked a building of the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) with incendiary devices. Therefore, the flames could be extinguished. A police spokeswoman said political motivation was also being investigated in all directions. The institute responsible for infectious diseases plays a central role in the corona pandemic.
