The Senate wants to reach an agreement on Saturday in a special session.

Signals of whether the easing will be withdrawn are still unclear. “I believe it is not possible to give back everything we have fought for in the last few days and weeks for opportunities and freedoms,” ruling Mayor Michael Mல்லller (SPD) said in a government statement to the House on Thursday. Representatives.

On the contrary, vaccination and testing open up new possibilities so that one does not have to act exclusively with controlled activities as in the past. Whether or not an “emergency break” would come into effect in Berlin, M வைத்தார்ller kept it open.

Others in the Senate are urging immediate action. “By arranging an emergency brake you don’t pull it off it creates confidence, it creates annoyance,” Senator Glass Letter (left) for culture wrote on Facebook on Thursday. The next few weeks will not be shiny and they will be hard. “Events may rise to higher values ​​than anything known to date.” In this context, Leder writes, “It is doubtful that long-distance action on topics is guaranteed, and then these are incorporated into the by-laws. The existence of low event values ​​that no one can seriously count on in the short term”.

Anne Helm, chair of the Left Parliamentary Committee, called for an emergency break, and even the Social Democrats opposed Mல்லller’s reluctance. SPD health expert Thomas Eisenberg said on Thursday: “Massive veto, emergency brake is necessary now. Looking the other way is not a solution, all shots make it clear.”
