Before the summit with the federal government, the states are arguing about the Easter holidays: Brandenburg wants to take advantage of relaxation, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania to allow travel. There, holiday home owners also want to revoke the accommodation ban.
Before the federal-state meeting on how to proceed in the fight against the pandemic, the prime ministers have different views on the question of vacation or excursion options at Easter. “With regard to the Easter holidays, self-sufficient holidays could be possible for children in the region, that is, within the borders of Saxony-Anhalt, for example in the Harz region,” said the Prime Minister of Saxony. -Anhalt, Reiner Haseloff from “Welt am Sonntag”. According to the CDU politician, this affects vacation homes and camping holidays.
The Prime Minister of Rhineland-Palatinate, Malu Dreyer, wants to allow excursions during Easter. We must create opportunities “that people can walk with us in the next Easter holidays and stop at a restaurant with a garden instead of flying to Mallorca and celebrating in Ballermann,” said the SPD politician of the newspaper. It would not be possible to “completely cordon off Germany for the next few months.”
Brandenburg withdraws relieving
In Thuringia, however, with currently high incidence figures, the situation is assessed very differently. “Anyone who believes at this stage of the pandemic that entire vacation regions can be released without testing is out of date,” Prime Minister Bodo Ramelow told the newspaper. “We ask the population not to go on vacation,” said the left-wing politician. According to the newspaper, Lower Saxony was also skeptical in the run-up to the deliberations.
Brandenburg Prime Minister Dietmar Woidke agreed that the population should prepare for further restrictions in the coming days. You don’t see any scope for relaxation. “Unfortunately, the situation does not exist,” said the SPD politician of “Welt am Sonntag”. “On the contrary: starting Monday, some openings will have to be withdrawn in some Brandenburg districts with high values.”
Lawsuit in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania
In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, apartment and holiday home owners want to overturn the Corona-related court accommodation ban. A total of 20 owners had submitted an application to the Greifswald High Administrative Court for a temporary injunction to stop both the accommodation ban and the entry ban for tourists, said Berlin lawyer Katja Kleist. A claim for compensation is also planned against the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
“While trips to Mallorca are promoted, the landlords go to the dogs in this country,” said the landlord of the Sassnitz garage, Oliver Roeber. The weekly value of new corona infections in the Vorpommern-Rügen district has been permanently below 50 since February.
There are also regional differences when traveling to Portugal, which should also be possible in Germany and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. “A pure openness for guests from Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is not a solution here,” said attorney Kleist. The owners need holiday guests from all over Germany.
The chancellor wants to pull the emergency brake
Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Prime Minister Manuela Schwesig had recently indicated the possibility of an Easter holiday. “Many people do not understand that there are opportunities for an Easter holiday in Mallorca, but not even a holiday home in your own state can be rented at home,” said the SPD politician in the daily topics-Interview.
On Monday, Chancellor Angela Merkel and the heads of government of the federal states will meet again to discuss general measures to contain the corona pandemic. Merkel said Friday night that there is currently an exponential growth in the number of infections. “Unfortunately, we will also have to use the emergency brake,” he said. He would have liked to do without the instrument. “But that will not be possible when you look at the events of the last few days,” said the chancellor.
