Despite the significantly increasing number of corona infections in schools, the AfD is calling for an end to the mask requirement for students in class.
"If it is up to us MPs to voluntarily wear the mask on the square, this must also apply to our children," said the AfD member of the state parliament Enrico Schult on Wednesday in Schwerin.
Schwerin - He referred to the constituent session of the state parliament on Tuesday, which took place according to the 3G regulation - vaccinated, recovered, tested.
The 79 parliamentarians sat close together.
Contrary to a recommendation, the entire AfD parliamentary group and also some CDU members did not wear masks.
Left, SPD, Greens, FDP and the majority of the CDU parliamentarians, however, had put on mouth and nose protection.
In Schult's opinion, the mask requirement is a physical and mental burden on the students.
"Since the government continues to insist on a rigorous mask requirement for students, it is feared that the students have to spend the entire winter with a mask in class," said the AfD politician.
