Actually, the state parliament wanted to meet in full again after the Corona emergency program and summer break.
But according to information from our newspaper, nothing will come of it at first.
Munich - Contrary to previous plans, the state parliament must continue its corona-related emergency occupation even after the summer break.
The reason: The Plexiglas panes, which are supposed to protect the members of parliament from each other, first had to be written out - and can therefore no longer be installed in time.
The President of the State Parliament, Ilse Aigner, announced this to the parliamentary managers of the parties in a video conference called at short notice on Friday.
On Monday the council of elders will deal with the issue.
Originally, the state parliament was supposed to meet again in normal operation from 23 September.
During the corona crisis, only a fifth of the MPs were physically present, the rest followed the debates via livestream on the Internet.
Now the MPs have to work from home for at least two more weeks.
"We are planning to resume normal operations from October," Ilse Aigner told our newspaper.
Because the agenda is so thick and Economics Minister Hubert Aiwanger (Free Voters) also wants to make a government declaration, there could then be several plenary days.
There is apparently also movement in the question of whether the committee meetings should be broadcast permanently on the Internet in the future.
During the corona crisis, they had good experiences with it, said Matthias Fischbach, Parliamentary Managing Director of the FDP.
Precisely because Bavaria is a large area, not everyone who is interested can always come to Munich.
The CSU had initially rejected the request quite clearly.
In the meantime, however, things seem to be moving.
“I interpreted the signals in such a way that it can no longer be categorically ruled out,” says Fischbach.
Aigner came to a similar conclusion from the conversation.
“I would welcome that as a permanent solution,” says the President.
A compromise could be that each committee can decide for themselves about a live stream.
A digital archive with old sessions is not planned.
Tobias Reiss, managing director of the CSU, could live with such a solution.
But you have to deliberate again in the group.
