The Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, Armin Laschet (59, CDU) performed tonight at the Erzgebirge in front of 2000 guests in a football stadium.

The occasion: Saxony celebrated its 30th anniversary in Aue since it was restored in 1990 with a gala concert. Laschet gave a speech in honor of the Free State and the crowd cheered. Then the Sächsische Staatskapelle played under the direction of star conductor Christian Thielemann (61), formerly comedian Olaf Schubert (52) entertaining the crowd.

However, its appearance has been causing great criticism for days. Because: Laschet-Land NRW remains strict at major events due to crown risk.

BILD was told by the Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia: “I don’t care. If the incidence is 0.9 in one country and 20 in the other, it may react differently from region to region. So that’s completely fine here in Saxony. “

► But Laschet also made it clear that it is not “fair if the stadium is filled in the east and not in the west. We need a uniform solution for the Bundesliga very soon so that there is fair competition. “

Since last week, large events with over 1000 people at NRW have only been possible with state approval. There are stricter requirements for events with more than 500 participants, and only 300 people are allowed at sporting events.

Saxony wants to set an example, while NRW cancels concert

The Saxon state government even wants to set an example with the event. Saxony was the first federal state in which large events with more than 1000 visitors became possible again. Berlin followed with a Roland Kaiser concert at the Waldbühne.

Saxony wants to show that infection control and big events can go hand in hand: 16,000 people really fit in the stadium, on Saturday only 2,000 arrived. The distance between the chairs was great, there were always two free seats. The guests and the artists also kept their distances correctly, the masks were constantly worn, also by Laschet and Kretschmer.

► However, at the moment, NRW cannot afford such a signal. YESTERDAY there was supposed to be a big Sarah Connor and Bryan Adams concert (13,000 spectators). Laschet had canceled it beforehand.

The leader of the North Rhine-Westphalia SPD parliamentary group, Thomas Kutschaty, was surprised and asked: “How credible is a prime minister who preaches water in his state and bans important events, but even drinks birthday wine in a party with 2000 guests in Saxony? “
