In the run-up to the next closed meeting of the district council, the voices of those who do not consider such a meeting to be justifiable in view of the high incidence figures are increasing.
Hans Mummert, SPD district councilor and former mayor of Penzberg, sent an open letter to District Administrator Andrea Jochner-Weiß and his district council colleagues yesterday.
District
- In the course of reporting that Bavaria's Minister of Economic Affairs, Hubert Aiwanger, finally made it through to get himself vaccinated, "I was also able to read that our district council member Susann Enders, general secretary of the Free Voters and state parliament member, has not yet reportedly either vaccinated and, according to BR, is now infected with Corona, "writes Mummert. "Especially from her, who often has the big say in the district council when it comes to health care in our district - in other words, hospital GmbH - I would have expected more sense of responsibility and a role model," the letter continues.
With reference to this, Mummert writes: “I am not sure that all district councilors have been vaccinated or recovered and am seriously considering whether I will take part in the all-day retreat on Wednesday.
I am not afraid for myself, but am responsible to my children, grandchildren, friends and acquaintances. "
If the exam is not canceled due to the dramatic situation, he advocates a 2Gplus regulation: Only those who have recovered and who have been vaccinated with a negative test are allowed to participate.
The district office responded evasively to the request of the local newspaper yesterday: The health department has confirmed that the infection control measures regulation does not apply to meetings of municipal bodies, writes press spokesman Hans Rehbehn. In other words: from a purely legal point of view, 2G or 3G could hardly be enforced because the elected representatives can hardly be denied participation in the meetings. "Since we don't have a good feeling about the idea, we invited the parliamentary group chairmen to an online meeting this evening to discuss how to proceed at meetings," continues Rehbehn. For those meetings that have already been invited, the 3G regulation applies to access to the meeting room and the wearing of an FFP2 mask upon entering the building. As far as the minimum distance of 1,50 meters could not be adhered to, there is also a mask requirement at the place. Meanwhile, the question of how to deal with district councilors who are not vaccinated and who refuse to take a test remained unanswered.
District Administrator Andrea Jochner-Weiß yesterday expressed her fear that if all unvaccinated people were excluded, the quorum of the committees could be jeopardized.
And the convening of a "Corona Committee" for the most necessary decisions would mean a lot of delays.
