The year 2021 will be welcomed without New Year's Eve fireworks because of the corona pandemic.
If three Saarland politicians have their way, the bang should only be postponed.
Munich - It will be an unusually
quiet turn of the year
.
When we say goodbye to 2020 and welcome 2021.
There are immense hopes associated with the new year, if only because of the
vaccinations
against Sars-CoV2 *
that have started worldwide
.
But precisely because of the corona pandemic, the usual
New Year's Eve
rushes are
prohibited.
You can only celebrate in a small group.
But what should hurt many citizens even more: The
fireworks
at midnight will fall.
The
sale of firecrackers and rockets
was prohibited.
Quite a few home hobbyists have recently shown involuntarily the dangers of creating creations on their own.

Not in the offer at the end of 2020: New Year's rockets may not be sold.

New Year's fireworks in spring?
Failure at the turn of the year is well received by environmentalists and paramedics
Environmentalists are
particularly happy because of the ban
, because this time
pollutants
are not
fired into the air in large quantities on
New Year's Eve
.
The
rescue workers in hospitals
can also breathe a sigh of relief
.
But not to be confiscated additionally.
However, that could bloom them a few months later.
If the
Saarland members of the state parliament Raphael Schäfer, Frank Wagner and Marc Speicher get
their questionable idea implemented.
In the
picture
, the CDU * trio advocates
simply
catching up on the failed
New Year's Eve fireworks
during the coming year.
New Year's fireworks in spring?
CDU politician is eyeing Europe Day in May
“Fireworks are a
tradition
.
We shouldn't skip them completely, "thinks Speicher and gives a
specific date for the Knaller Revival
:" Our suggestion would be that we
catch up on
the
spectacle on May 9th
.
Then it is
Europe Day
, and maybe other countries will join in, which are now also doing without. "
However, this is a
Sunday
before a normal working day.
As a result, by far not every citizen should be
happy
about a
nocturnal background noise like on New Year's Eve
.

Are there these pictures in spring?
The New Year's Eve fireworks should be made up for after the will of three CDU politicians.

New Year's fireworks in spring?
Hope for a quick calming of the corona infection process
Shepherd is also less concrete, but stressed: "May would be perfect, because later in the summer, the
risk of forest fires too high
would." The CDU politician belongs in terms of Corona for the Group of the optimists: "Against the end of spring this has
infection process
hopefully calm
." Which, however, cannot currently be predicted at all.
Still, the three fireworks friends don't want to waste any time.
Finally, the
Explosives
Act
would have
to be adapted accordingly, which
strictly regulates the time of
the
sale of rockets, firecrackers and co
.
"In the next few days we will
contact the members of the Saarland Bundestag
and deal with the
legal
situation
together
," says Wagner, outlining the next steps.
The trio is "in good spirits that we can put our initiative into practice".
Then 2021 would go down in history - with New Year's Eve fireworks in the middle of the year!
