The governing mayor of Berlin Michael Müller (SPD) expressed himself at a press conference about the criticism of the capital and also handed it out himself.

  • Berlin

    has for the fight against the second

    Corona wave *

    new measures announced.

  • The

    governing mayor Michael Müller

    (SPD) was angry at the announcement about the criticism of his

    corona policy

    .

  • The SPD politician allowed himself a point against

    Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder

    .

The second wave of the

Sars-CoV-2 coronavirus

is currently rolling over

Germany

and is particularly striking in the major cities of the Federal Republic.

According to the figures from the

Robert Koch Institute

, Munich, for example, has a 7-day incidence * of 34.7 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.

Cologne stands at 39.6 and Hamburg at 27.5.

Even

Berlin

- the most populous metropolis in Germany - has his hands full to get the daily new infections under control.

According to the

RKI

, the

districts of Mitte, Tempelhof-Schöneberg, Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg and Neukölln exceed

the critical threshold of 50 cases per 100,000 inhabitants

with a

7-day incidence

.

Berlin: Mayor Müller (SPD) takes action due to increasing numbers of infections - curfew for the catering trade

So it was not particularly surprising that the ruling mayor of the capital

Michael Müller (SPD *)

announced new measures for

Berlin

yesterday, Tuesday

, which should help

to get

the

infection rate

*

under control.

The announced changes include restrictions on restaurants between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m., but also a

contact

restriction

in the private sector for Berlin citizens.

The Senate decided on these corona measures today - they will apply from Saturday: A new #closing hour between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m.

Müller

admits that these are significant interventions

.

Above all, however, he asked to assess how the situation would develop if one did not act decisively now.

Then there would not only be

restrictions

for the catering trade, but no possibility at all to maintain operations.

“We have something to do,” says Müller with regard to the situation in Berlin, and yet at the beginning of the

press conference he

cannot refrain from settling the accounts with the public perception of Berlin.

Müller is angry about criticism of Berlin: "Who can actually point the finger at whom on this basis?"

“Who can actually point the finger at whom on this basis?” Asks the

Governing Mayor

, after

quoting

the

7-day incidence of

several major German cities

from statistics

, all of which are on a similar level to that of Berlin.

There is a lot to do in the capital, but also in most of the metropolises in Germany.

“That's why I say in all clarity that I find it somewhat unbearable how some people here give postings and those who are not really

interested in

Berlin

suddenly know exactly what the situation is like in Berlin and what to do in Berlin “,

Müller

continues to

accuse

.

Berlin's Mayor Müller on his Corona policy - did not sit "wide-legged in every talk show"

In

Berlin

, over the past few weeks, they have limited themselves to work within the coalition and examined what

measures

can be taken there.

This is

particularly important

to

Müller

: "That's why we haven't sat with our legs apart in every talk show and first presented what you can do personally." It

is not possible to determine with

certainty who this head of the

governing mayor

is directed

against

.

In contrast to

Müller's

next comment

, which can be classified in the direction of

Markus Söder

.

Berlin "on the verge of no longer controllability": Müller counters Söder criticism and distributes against Bavaria

At the beginning of the week, Söder had said, among other things, that

Berlin

was on the verge of no longer controllability.

A remark that Michael Müller had probably not forgotten.

“In the last few weeks I have not

issued

a

travel warning

for my Berliners in the direction of

Bavaria

, because one cannot be sure how

test results

*

will be achieved there and whether or not they will be wasted for weeks.

I didn't do anything because I don't think it will help, ”is

Müller's

answer to the Free State.

Although the Governing Mayor of Berlin

does not name

Söders

explicitly, the Bavarian state father may certainly feel addressed at this point against his state.

However, behind the clear words of the governing mayor is above all the desire for a common

corona policy

instead of mutual criticism.

During the press conference, Müller also called for the

federal government

to

invite the

federal

states to a new summit

soon in

order

to avert

an impending

lockdown
