This year also ends differently than usual.
The end of an extraordinary year - it will probably have to pass without glowing fireworks.
"It is a really
comprehensive decision
that we have agreed on here," said Berlin's Governing Mayor
Michael Müller
at the press conference on Sunday.
Part of this
draft resolution
, which was sent to the federal states by the Federal Chancellery on Sunday morning, also contains a paragraph on
New Year's Eve.
Müller appeals urgently to the conscience of the population: "Yes, things are possible in connection with
Christmas
and
New Year's Eve,
but you have to check yourself," everyone should think about what he really needs to do and how he can protect himself and his family .
New Year's Eve doesn't seem to be a top priority right now.
