At a Corona summit, the prime ministers voted for another lockdown.
Now it is up to Prime Minister Söder and the state parliament to implement the resolutions in Bavaria.
On Tuesday, December 15, the Bavarian
state parliament will
vote
on the impending
corona lockdown
in Bavaria.
Before the vote,
Söder
would like to
advertise his course
in a
government
statement.
The
Prime Minister
hopes that this will give him
more backing for the
tightening of
the
corona
.
This

is updated regularly.
Update from December 15, 10:30 p.m.:
From tomorrow, the curfew will apply from 9 p.m. in Bavaria.
Violations are punished with a 500 euro fine.
But how legal is the regulation actually?
And when does the full penalty really threaten - and who decides if in doubt?
We discussed these questions with a law professor at LMU - with revealing results.
Update of 15 December, 19:32:
Also in
Bavaria
is
hard lockdown
now official.
From Wednesday, the Free State will pull the
emergency brake
in the fight against the
corona virus
.
The decision submitted by the federal and state governments was confirmed by a government majority of
CSU
and
free voters
.
The new restrictions will come
into effect
on Wednesday and probably until
January 10th
.
Even at Christmas, the resolution
does not provide
for
an exception
to the exit restriction, neither for families nor for church services.
The majority of the opposition also agreed
that the lockdown was
necessary
.
Nevertheless, the drastic penalties announced by Söder were harshly criticized.
SPD
parliamentary group leader Horst Arnold called the measures
disproportionate
in many areas
: “There is no point
in turning
Bavaria into a
quasi-prison
from
9:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.
Do you really believe that this will deter the unreasonable? ”The FDP and the Greens also criticized Söder for his changeable crisis management.
Government declaration with great concern: Corona is the disaster of our time.
We have to pull the emergency brake.
If we don't all fight the virus together now, we will suffer the greatest damage.
The time of exceptions is over.
What applies to everyone is also just.

Söder supported
his criticized
minister of education, Michael Piazolo
.
At the same time, however, Söder demanded that alternating and distance lessons have to function smoothly in the new year.
Söder: “My clear message: by January it must be clarified that there are
no misunderstandings and no problems
in
alternating and distance lessons
.
It is not easy to organize something in three days, but everything has to be in place by January 10th. "
Corona lockdown in Bavaria: Söder wants "more arguments instead of slogans"
Immediately before the
special Corona meeting
in the Bavarian State Parliament, the
Ministry of Culture
made it clear that
distance learning
in the last few days before the Christmas holidays is not mandatory - but still possible.

Söder has finished his
government
statement
.

corona vaccine
.
"It is to despair.
Because we don't want any vaccination lights, it's important that everyone participates. ”Söder speaks of a“
command of reason
”here.
New drugs and vaccines would have saved an incredible amount of life on this planet.
"That's why I sometimes wish for more
respect and trust
in science and research."
Bavaria consistently implements MPK resolutions.
Shops outside of daily needs will be closed from Wednesday.
No other country pays as much compensation as Germany.
Schools and daycare centers are consistently to offer distance learning and emergency care where needed.

not refute
the
situation

Even before Söder's
government declaration
in the
state parliament
, a central topic is looming for the following debate.
Education Minister Michael Piazolo (Free Voters)
has been criticized
several times
for his

in
schools
- most recently because of his letter on the subject of
distance learning
.
His

Shortly before Christmas, there is
still a tight program to deal with
in the
Bavarian state parliament
.
Just five days after the last meeting, the MPs are meeting again today
in the Maximilianeum
because of the
corona pandemic
.
A
vote
with drastic consequences
awaits politicians today
- for all people in the
Free State
.
Because on the agenda of today's special meeting with Prime Minister Markus
Söder
(CSU) is probably the most serious
challenge
to
Covid19
so far
: the complete lockdown.
After the cabinet
had already decided to
tighten
the
corona
on Monday, December 14, the state parliament still has to agree today.
Bavaria: Söder advertises his corona course in a government statement
Before that, Söder would like to
advertise the corona course he initiated
in a
government
statement.
The
government statement
you can
live
our here
ticker and stream
follow.
We're going down: Basic lockdown from Wednesday.
Corona is out of control.
The following applies consistently: stay at home, reduce contacts, only leave the house for good reason.
The steady time is the best opportunity to do this.
Everyone can do their part.
- Markus Söder (@Markus_Soeder) December 14, 2020
With this type of state parliament speech,
Söder
hopes to gain
more
backing
for the tightening of the corona.
The
approval of
the package of measures, which is based on the decisions of the most recent summit last Sunday, is considered certain.
The CSU and Free Voters alone already form the
majority in parliament
.
The Greens also declared in advance that they would support the measures.
Corona lockdown in Bavaria: Criticism from the FDP and AfD
There was
criticism
, however, from FDP parliamentary group leader Martin Hagen, who called for more staff for the health authorities and local
mass tests
in
hotspots
, or from the AfD, which is
pushing
for the immediate lifting of the
corona measures
.
Corresponding allegations and debates following Söder's government statement are therefore not unlikely today.
Update from December 14th, 7:01 pm:
Apparently the Bavarian Minister of Education, Michael Piazolo (Free Voters), has no confidence in the technology competence of his own house.
He wrote to all teachers and parents in Bavaria today to forbid distance learning. * The background is apparently the technical difficulties that the ministry's own digital learning platform Mebis had with only partial homeschooling last week. *
Update from December 14th, 1:50 p.m.:
Two
central innovations
compared to the already known resolutions were made known at this press conference.
On the one hand, the
fine for violating the curfew should
apparently
rise
to
500 euros
.
On the other hand, the Bavarian state government wants to
enable
the
delivery of goods
on the fourth weekend in Advent.
Coronavirus: curfew also on Christmas Eve - "Applies in Bavaria.
For all.
Every day"
Update from December 14th, 1:46 p.m .:
How is the
curfew at Christmas
going
?
Do the holiday guests have to be home before 9 p.m. so as not to risk a ticket on the way home?
“That simply means: The curfew in Bavaria applies from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.
For all.
Every day, ”is the clear answer from the firm's boss, Florian Hermann.
Update from December 14th, 1:40 pm:
"We are practicing and are improving step by step", Piazolo promises a diverse
distance lesson
that is getting better and more structured.
Oral performance can also be raised above it.
"Generous emergency care does not mean everyone who wants, but everyone who needs,"
says
Piazolo,
explaining
the new
care regulations in
more detail
.
If parents are desperate, you definitely don't want to leave them out in the rain, even if they don't belong to any of the essential professional groups.
Update from December 14th, 1:38 pm:
"There are
three basic principles
for the
rest of
the school year
.
High flexibility on the one hand, fairness and my request to everyone, also outside of school: mutual consideration for everyone, ”Michael Piazolo appeals to all citizens at the end.
Update from December 14th, 1:31 pm:
"A bit of a strange remark at a press conference", smiles
Minister of Culture Piazolo
at his own comment on
Christmas
, maybe the festival this year will be much more contemplative and show what the holidays are actually about.
Corona-PK: Trautner explains the emergency care model in Bavaria - no professional groups formulated uniformly
Update from December 14th, 1:28 pm:
“
The daycare centers are generally closed
.
We are playing it safe, ”explains Minister Trautner.
Who can
send
their child to
emergency care
?
"Here we have decided
not to formulate any professional groups in a uniform manner
", emphasizes the Minister of Labor, that it is decided with a careful eye which parents can request these care measures.
“If at all possible,
keep your child at home,
” she concludes, “I know that the next few weeks will not be easy.
Please all be understanding. "
Coronavirus: "On its own initiative" - Aiwanger renews mask appeal
Update from December 14th, 1:25 pm:
“We appeal to take the contact
restrictions
seriously,” continues Aiwanger, citizens should protect themselves as best as possible on their own initiative.
He urgently recommends “equipping yourself professionally”.
FFP2 masks
are now clearly the best alternative.
Update from December 14th, 1:22 pm:
"Please be fair," he calls out to the grocery stores.
After the
retail trade
was
closed,
they should
now “not include entire galleries of men's fashion” in their range.
The delivery options have been created for the specialist trade that it should not break during the lockdown.
Aiwanger explains that he has to retrofit in online retail, but of course it should not completely lose stationary sales in the future.
The
bridging allowance 3
is intended to help.
Update from December 14th, 1:19 pm:
“Please go on”, the government has called for more stringent measures, reports
Hubert Aiwanger
.
And that is exactly what you have to do now to curb the spread.
"
Very unpopular measures,

returnees
.
“Of course there is hope.
Hope is the vaccine, "concludes Söder:" I only want to say one thing about the debate.
It is important not to just create conspiracy theories again: It's not fun, ”he complains about small-party disruptions and takes an AfD affront as an example.
And further: “
I am sorry that we have to take such measures
.
Nobody does it with pleasure. ”But otherwise it would result in much greater damage.

“Let's do it sensibly,” he insists, however, on extending the curfew.
From Wednesday onwards, they will no longer only apply to hotspots, but throughout Bavaria.
This rule is slightly extended
over the
Christmas holidays
.
“There are also four family members, but not four friends,” warns Söder, otherwise a Christmas party will quickly turn into a
Christmas party
.
Both nationally and in Bavaria, they clearly decided
against fireworks on New Year's Eve
.
The hospitals should not be additionally burdened with firecrackers injuries.
Update from December 14th, 1:07 p.m.:
The house can only be left for good reason, it is important to be considerate.
“It's a stressful time in which everyone can make their contribution,” says
Söder
.
