In southern Thuringia, carnivalists held an illegal light-measuring parade. Some of the roughly 90 celebrators passed through Jüchsen in costume in the Schmalkalden-Meiningen district, local media reported.
Police were on the scene with a large contingent and finally broke up the illegal act on Sunday, the MDR reported, citing the district office. The emergency services issued three criminal charges for insulting and resisting the police officers. Images on the internet are said to show police officers handcuffing a person lying on the ground.
According to the report, the fools were also traveling in vehicles and at least one horse. The district administrator, Peggy Greiser, harshly criticized the behavior of the partiers: people did not even keep minimum distances or wear protective masks.
“We will not accept it,” the politician said, according to the report. “In hospitals, doctors and nurses fight for countless lives, at home many fear for their economic sustenance and here Carnival is celebrated. Apparently there is a total lack of a sense of reality and consideration. “
The local carnival club is apparently not responsible for the hustle and bustle, as “Free Word” reports: The Jüchsen Carnival Club (JKC), like all other clubs in the region, canceled all events. On Sunday morning, the JKC club president urged residents to abide by Corona’s rules.
According to the newspaper, the public order office and municipal administration had not assumed that an illegal event would occur despite such appeals. According to “Free Word”, the movement should have been about 300 meters long.
According to the MDR, the Schmalkalden-Meiningen district currently has the highest value in all of Thuringia and one of the highest in Germany, with a seven-day incidence of 471 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants.
