“A matter of mutual consideration that we all adhere to it”
At the beginning of the Bundestag session, Wolfgang Schäuble urged MPs “emphatically” to wear mouth and nose protection on all Bundestag properties. The background for this is the complaints that AfD MPs in particular do not always play by the rules.
Wolfgang Schäuble has urged members of the German Bundestag to wear mouth and nose protection. From now on, stricter rules will apply to parliament, but no masks will be required.
yesAt the beginning of the Bundestag session on Friday, the President of the Bundestag, Wolfgang Schäuble (CDU), “strongly” urged MPs to comply with infection control measures. “This applies above all to the use of mouth and nose protection in all Bundestag estates,” said Schäuble. Previously, members of the AfD who refused to do so had been criticized.
According to Schäuble, the issue was again the subject of deliberations in Parliament’s Council of Elders on Thursday. One could be divided on the effectiveness of oral and nasal protection or on the pandemic of the crown as a whole, said the president of the Bundestag, without directly appointing the AfD, but “in a democracy you have to accept the decisions of the majority “. It’s also about showing consideration for others.
According to a report by “Spiegel”, the council of elders also decided on stricter rules. Members of Parliament and employees must wear mouth and nose protection in elevators, as well as in all other traffic areas. Offices are excluded. In the plenary hall and parliamentary group rooms, the mask can be removed while sitting and speaking. A general mask requirement was rejected due to legal concerns in the application.
As proof, it was introduced on Friday that the secretaries of the parliamentary groups could once again sit next to the speaker of the parliament. However, you should wear FFP2 masks that are particularly effective for your own protection, because with this seating arrangement the minimum clearances are not exceeded.
In recent days, a Corona case in the AfD parliamentary group had raised concerns among members of the Bundestag and members of the Bundestag. The case had intensified criticism of AfD MPs and employees’ lax handling of protection standards.
