Vote on the new regulations of the Infection Protection Law

Ahead of today’s vote on the planned new regulations of the Infection Protection Act, the Berlin police are preparing for demonstrations and possibly violent protests by opponents. Several meetings scheduled in front of the Bundestag cannot take place there. Members of the Bundestag were also bombarded with thousands of critical spam emails. Representatives of the ruling parties strongly rejected the comparisons between the Infection Protection Act and the so-called Enabling Act of 1933. At the time, the Reichstag had stripped itself of its power and transferred the legislation to Reich Chancellor Adolf Hitler .
