In the CDU presidium meeting was held on Monday morning WORLD INFORMATION In the dispute over crown policy, Hessian Prime Minister Volker Bouffier and the leader of the parliamentary group Ralph Brinkhaus clashed.
According to WELT author Robin Alexander, Bouffier sharply rejected criticism from the leader of the parliamentary group Brinkhaus: “They beat me personally!” He said. And: “I urge you to moderate in the future.”
On Thursday there was already a first dispute between Brinkhaus and the government in the Bundestag. Brinkhaus criticized the crown’s previous policy: “I wish I had taken more consistent action. This little-sit-still-wears us all down!”
Chancellor Angela Merkel criticized the plans of several countries particularly affected by the corona pandemic to allow hotel stays for family visits in big cities during Christmas. At the virtual meeting of the CDU presidium, Merkel announced the decision of the federal and state governments to relax the crown’s strict contact restrictions during the holidays, participants informed the dpa news agency in Berlin on Monday. He was quoted as saying that he lacked the imagination to suspect that particularly affected countries wanted to open hotels.
Merkel justified her criticism that it was impossible to verify whether only guests were staying at hotels that actually visited relatives in the region. According to this information, the Chancellor referred to the corresponding regulations in large cities such as Berlin. It cannot be explained that the nurses of the Berlin Charité also have to work during Christmas. Several participants reported that she did not explicitly speak of Schleswig-Holstein or Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in this context. Decreasing incidence values can be observed in some territorial states.
Chancellor’s praise to Hamburg and Bremen
The Chancellor spoke of positive developments in the corona infection figures in Hamburg and Bremen. On the contrary, there are a growing number in Saxony, Thuringia and Brandenburg. Regional action must now be taken. Regional efforts are necessary. Merkel emphasized that there were as many corona infections in November as there were from March to October combined, more than 500,000. After the deliberations of the CDU presidium, Merkel wanted to meet with the crown cabinet in the morning.
The head of the CDU, Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, emphasized, according to the statements of the participants at the presidium meeting, that there is unfortunately still a “lateral movement” in the number of infections.
After North Rhine-Westphalia, Lower Saxony, Hesse, Schleswig-Holstein and Berlin, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania announced on Saturday that it would allow hotel stays for family visits during the festive period, against a recommendation from the Chancellery. On Wednesday, the federal and state governments agreed that the partial closure with the closure of restaurants, theaters, gyms and leisure facilities should be extended until December 20. Private meetings are limited to a maximum of five people. During Christmas, contact restrictions will be relaxed to allow family visits.
