The Bavarian folk tradition puts an unpleasant officer next to Nikolaus, the Krampus. While Santa Claus takes care of the gifts, the Krampus distributes them with the wand. One rewarded, the other punished. When Markus Söder presented “the currently strictest crown management in the whole of Germany” on Saint Nicholas Day and explained it to the press the next day, the gifts were left in the bag. The Bavarian Prime Minister announced disaster for his state. A ten-point program is intended to reduce the spread of Covid-19. The measures will affect border traffic as well as school lessons and the celebration of Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Otherwise, according to Söder on Monday, the “very sharp increase in the number of deaths” could not be stopped.
