Now the first prime ministers are calling for a possible vaccination requirement and stricter measures.

Munich / Berlin - Due to the increasing number of Corona * cases in many regions of Germany, the Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder * (CSU *) has spoken out in favor of bringing forward the federal-state summit planned for December 9th and also discussing possible changes to the Infection Protection Act . "Every opportunity to improve the current crisis situation must be used," said Söder, according to a report by the AFP news agency on Thursday in the Süddeutsche Zeitung.

For example, Söder criticized the new Infection Protection Act *, which the Bundestag passed with a majority of the traffic light parties last week: The regulations are "not appropriate to the current situation".

The Bavarian Prime Minister is also following the line taken by the Executive Chancellor Angela Merkel * (CDU *), who has already called for stricter measures on several occasions.

Aggravation of the corona situation: Söder for compulsory vaccinations and vaccinations in pharmacies

In order to advance the vaccination campaign, Söder is now also in favor of mandatory vaccination, which the executive Union Health Minister Jens Spahn * had dismissed as impracticable at a press conference a few weeks ago. According to Söder, only the obligation to “pacify society and bring us back to freedom as we knew it before Corona”. In order to speed up the vaccination campaign, Söder demands that pharmacists also be given permission to vaccinate.

In doing so, Söder is following the demands of several prime ministers who have made similar statements in the past few days.

The Saarland Prime Minister Tobias Hans (CDU) had already called for the Prime Minister's Conference planned for December to be brought forward.

The Hessian Prime Minister Volker Bouffier (CDU) and Reiner Haseloff (CDU) from Saxony-Anhalt also spoke out in favor of introducing mandatory vaccination.

Corona policy: State leaders call for an early federal-state round

If the meeting between the Chancellor and the heads of the federal states is brought forward, as requested by Söder, the Executive Chancellor Angela Merkel could be entrusted with the management of the body one last time before her designated successor Olaf Scholz * (SPD *) takes over government affairs.

He is expected to be sworn in as Federal Chancellor in the week after December 6th.

The parties are currently gradually announcing who should belong to Scholz's cabinet *.
