Söder government statement on Corona: Cabinet will vote

After the Söder * speech, an

urgency motion from the CSU and free voters should also be

voted on, which lists the key points of the new anti-corona measures.

However, the vote is not legally binding, because the

Federal

Infection Protection Act gives the state governments the option of their own Corona * regulations, but it does not provide for legislative powers for the individual state parliaments.

Nevertheless, such a vote should

give

the

debates

more weight.

The opposition repeatedly complained about not having enough say, especially Katharina Schulze from the Greens.

She even sees democracy in the free state in danger and attacked Söder sharply after his last government declaration. * The President of the Landtag,

Ilse Aigner

, advocates that Söder “documents through government statements that he wants to explain his decisions.

Now it is important that we vote on it - I have worked hard for that ”.

Söder government declaration on Corona in Bavaria: Ilse Aigner welcomes the debate and today's vote

Today's vote should give the state government additional political legitimation.

This is also how Ilse Aigner (CSU *) sees it: “Parliamentary debates and decisions increase the

transparency, understanding and trust of

the citizens.

I am convinced that the democratic discussion in the state parliament will make an important contribution to securing and strengthening acceptance and solidarity among the population. "

She also made it clear in an interview: “All

MPs

feel how much the

population's questions and fears

are increasing.

It is all the more important that there is a very detailed debate on this. ”The gastro scene was hit hard again with the Corona * lockdown.

Aigner explained that she supported these resolutions “because we are in a critical situation.

Maybe we won't know for two or three weeks how decisive those days were.

Personally, I think that it

would have been

a good

guideline

to link such decisions to the incidence values ​​* in the districts. ”
