Markus Söder sees the growing number of demonstrations against the Corona policy in Bavaria and nationwide with concern.
"I think that we are overall in a troubled situation," he said on Thursday on TV channel

Tomorrow's Corona summit comes too early in his view.
"I prefer that we advise tomorrow and then decide a few days later, when the scientific basis is definitely better."

Aiwanger suddenly warns of food shortages
Update from January 6, 11:32 a.m.:
Free voter boss Hubert Aiwanger has warned of a food shortage.
The Corona crisis has already shown in other areas "that the sustainability of the supply chains is in danger." That said Bavaria's Minister of Economic Affairs on Thursday at the digital Epiphany meeting of his party.
"As a farmer, I warn that in the end the same phenomenon will reach us when it comes to food."
At the moment, groceries are readily available at low prices.
“Today we still believe that the refrigerator is full,” said Aiwanger.
But: "It could turn out differently." It shouldn't happen that Germany makes itself dependent on exports for food.
Pig farmers are “politically too little valued” and are therefore now in an “existential crisis”.
"If people were to argue about the last schnitzel or the last bratwurst at the refrigerated counter and the announcement came: 14 days nothing new will follow, then things would go politically in this country," said the Deputy Prime Minister of Bavaria.
Corona incidence in Bavaria continues to rise
Update from January 6th, 10:12 am:
The incidence in Bavaria continues to rise.
On Thursday morning, the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) reported a value of 234.7 for the Free State.
It was 21.4 above the previous day's value and thus rose for the fifth time in a row.
According to the RKI, the number of corona deaths since the start of the pandemic in Bavaria has increased by 50 to 19,878 since Wednesday.
Bavaria is currently below the national average of 285.9.
and in a comparison of the federal states in third place.
Lower values were only reported for Lower Saxony and Rhineland-Palatinate.
Incidence in Bavaria is increasing - Schweinfurt has the highest value, Wunsiedel the lowest
The city of Schweinfurt with 405.1, the district of Ebersberg with 373.4 and the city of Würzburg with 368.6 had the highest incidences in the Free State.
The district of Wunsiedel has the lowest values with exactly 100.0 and the district of Mühldorf am Inn with 133.9.
In the past few days, the RKI has always pointed out that there were fewer corona tests over the holidays and fewer infections were reported by the local health authorities, so the numbers could be incomplete.
Corona: Pediatrician criticizes Bavaria's new day-care center rule
Update from January 5, 3:47 p.m.:
The Omikron variant is on the rise. In South Africa and the USA, the number of infected children in hospitals has also increased significantly. Prof. Johannes Huebner, infectiologist and pediatrician at the Hauner Children's Hospital of the LMU Munich, gives the all-clear. He is in regular contact with doctors from abroad. He told
Antenne Bayern
: “When the number of infections increases, the number of infections in children also increases, of course. But the fact that we are seeing more and more difficult courses is not the case. Children are often taken in with, but not because of, Covid. "
Severe corona courses are still the exception in children, as are long-term consequences after an infection, as Huebner further told the radio station. “We have a Long Covid outpatient clinic with us. We have looked after around 15 children since June. ”The doctor believes that the corona vaccination for five to eleven year olds is primarily important for previously ill children. “In my opinion, vaccination is not of great importance in protecting children from illness or severe disease. Children also do not play a decisive role in the overall course of the pandemic. It is much more important that we vaccinate the risk group from the age of 60. ” In an interview with
Antenne Bayern
, Hübner sees the obligation to provide evidence of the test, which will apply in Bavarian day-care centers from January 10th
critical: “There are a lot of problems there, for example the sensitivity of the tests. They also have to be carried out competently, which is often not guaranteed. But I also see that teaching and childcare are probably not politically enforceable any other way at the moment. And if those are the conditions, then it's the lesser of two evils. The bigger the children are, the more useful it is. In the upper secondary school it makes sense, in my opinion less in elementary school and daycare. "
Update from January 5, 1:49 p.m.:
The vaccination rate in Bavaria is 70.3 percent today, Wednesday.
There are large regional differences in the Free State itself.
Central Franconia is Bavaria's vaccination master with 73.6 percent, followed by Lower Franconia (73 percent) and Upper Franconia (72.7 percent).
One region is currently catching up a lot.
Swabia brings up the rear (65.8 percent).
Söder in front of the Bund-Länder-Round with a clear demand - the police prepare for further "walks"
First report from January 5, 12:53 p.m .:
Munich - Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder expects an expert recommendation before the federal-state meeting on Friday (January 7).
"If there is a council of experts, it has to give a recommendation as to whether something needs to be changed and what," said the CSU boss at a press conference in Munich on Wednesday.
One must approach such decisions with reason.
Among other things, there is currently a lot of discussion about new quarantine rules, booster vaccinations and contact restrictions.
After a scientific recommendation, Söder would like a proposal from the traffic light government.
"But it has to be understandable," added Söder.
"Comprehensible for everyone," he also named as a criterion.
"Not a bureaucracy monster."
Bavarian police prepare for unannounced corona demos
Meanwhile, the Bavarian police in numerous municipalities are preparing for unannounced "walks" and meetings of opponents of the Corona measures.
In Munich alone, around 1000 officers are said to be on duty on Wednesday evening, according to police.
They get support from the Federal Police, who want to increase their presence at the main train station and at S-Bahn stations.
Not only in the state capital, but also in other Bavarian cities and communities, opponents of the Corona measures called for so-called walks.
However, many cities have not banned stationary rallies and threatened participants in undeclared demonstrations with fines.
