Outside camels, inside politicians - the ring is clear for the Bogenhausen district committee!

District politicians in the north of Munich are meeting in the traveling circus for the first time because of Corona.

  • In the north of Munich *,

    a political circus took

    place on Tuesday evening due to

    Corona

    .

  • But in the literal sense: The

    BA Bogenhausen

    met in the manege of

    Circus Baldoni

    .

  • Not all participants are convinced.

    But the

    SPD

    and

    CSU

    felt right at home - and want to come back.

Munich / Bogenhausen - The tent has a sweet smell of popcorn, it smells of straw and animals.

This

district committee

is different from all the others:

On Tuesday evening, the

elected officials from

Bogenhausen

sit on yellow folding chairs around the

circus Baldoni

ring

.

Whoever has a seat in the first row uses the ring gang as a shelf.

The rest of them are balancing their laptops on their knees, documents lying next to them on the grass.

The box is reserved for the FDP and free voters.

For practical reasons: The two groups have wheelchair users in their ranks, the box has a wooden floor.

Because they cannot meet in the deaf center as usual due to Corona *, the BA came up with the idea to

switch

to the

traveling circus

.

After a short interlude in the cultural center of the Truderinger neighbors, they wanted to go back

to their own city district

with their meetings

, as District Committee Chairman Florian Ring (CSU) explains.

Not all seem enthusiastic.

“Alfresco does not charge,” complains Greens spokeswoman Petra Cockrell.

The meeting documents are stored in the BA network.

Another BA member ensures more power behind the scenes.

Political circus in Bogenhausen: CSU and SPD feel good - and want repetition

Despite the adversity, the politicians

will perform here again

next month

.

CSU

and

SPD

want a repeat.

Cockrell's protest doesn't help either.

“I'm there,” says the ringmaster Kaiser.

Meanwhile, the world-famous

Cirque du Soleil

from Canada is grappling with enormous problems due to the corona pandemic.

The iconic circus company had to file for bankruptcy:

Because of ongoing corona problems, numerous students in Munich have already been sent home.

A popular travel destination in the vicinity is to be declared a risk area.
