Corona virus in Baden-Württemberg: Winfried Kretschmann addresses conspiracy theorists

The corona virus in Baden-Württemberg restricts the everyday life of all citizens. However, some people suspect a conspiracy behind the corona pandemic . For example, demonstrations say that Microsoft founder Bill Gates is behind the spread of Covid-19 to establish secret world domination. "I can only tell you that I should actually know that, but Bill Gates hasn't called me yet," said Kretschmann in the video that was released in Stuttgart on Tuesday .

The conspiracy theorists who take part in the corona demos mostly protest against the restrictions due to what they consider to be a harmless or fictitious virus. The requirements for curbing the  coronavirus  in  Baden-Württemberg , which are demonstrated not only at the  Cannstatter Wasen  in  Stuttgart  , include maintaining a minimum distance of 1.50 meters from other people. In addition, the state government introduced a mask requirement for shopping and public transport * at the end of April.

In his video message to the conspiracy theorists on corona demos , Winfried Kretschmann said of Bill Gates that he could rule out any influence on his corona policy in this regard. "I think such a conspiracy myth is simply absurd, but I am concerned that such myths are spreading." Corona is a natural disaster and not a human conspiracy, said the Prime Minister . "There is no bad guy here who wants to outsmart us all. But there is a new problem for our health, a bad pandemic that is affecting society as a whole. ”

The President of the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution said that the particular problem with the Corona demos * is that  extremist thought patterns are being disseminated in the  protests and should be connected well into the bourgeois milieu.  Right-wing extremists are also occasionally among the registrants and participants of the  Corona demos .
