The CSU's political Ash Wednesday will take place virtually this year due to the corona pandemic.
As usual, only two politicians will be in Passau.
Passau - The traditional rally of the CSU * on
political Ash Wednesday
is to take place digitally this year because of the Corona * pandemic.
"Instead of what feels like 10,000 guests in the
Dreiländerhalle
, Political Ash Wednesday will be implemented as a studio production under strict hygiene measures," said
CSU General Secretary Markus Blume of
the
Passauer Neue Presse
(PNP / Friday edition).

"The largest get-together in the world with 10,000 participants, this time it takes place virtually." In Passau * itself, only Bavaria's Prime Minister and CSU boss Markus Söder * and Blume himself should be.
“It stays with Passau because the spirit of this place, the genius loci, cannot be replaced by anything,” said Blume.
The concept, however, is that instead of having
fan
buses run to Passau *, you send
fan packages
home.
The Greens also rely on the Internet after PNP information: Their political Ash Wednesday with Greens * boss Annalena Baerbock and Bundestag Vice President Claudia Roth as well as the Bavarian parliamentary group leaders Katharina Schulze and Ludwig Hartmann should therefore be
streamed
online from a studio in
Munich's Muffathalle
.

Traditionally, the parties have a political
exchange
on Ash Wednesday
, to which, under normal circumstances, many political celebrities from Berlin travel to Bavaria.
The event of the CSU in the Passau Dreiländerhalle is considered the largest meeting.
Ash Wednesday falls on February 17th this year.
The CSU had already announced in December that political Ash Wednesday - depending on the Corona situation - should at least partially be moved to the Internet.

This gesture by Andreas Scheuer (CSU) was not well received in his hometown.
