Munich – All of Bavaria is dismayed by Russia’s war in Ukraine. Solidarity with Ukraine is huge. Thousands of people take to the streets every day to demonstrate against Putin and for peace. Numerous aid convoys* have already made their way to the border to bring women and children to Germany and to deliver donations in kind. The Ukraine conflict is therefore also the subject of today’s cabinet meeting of the Bavarian state parliament. The second big topic: the upcoming corona loosening. You can follow the press conference with Prime Minister Markus Söder* (CSU) live here from 12.30 p.m.
Ukraine conflict: Söder’s cabinet discusses war aid and corona easing
In the center, the unscheduled deliberations on Wednesday are supposed to be about the war. On the one hand, it should be about support for the country and its neighboring EU countries, and on the other hand, about the Bavarian preparations for the many refugees who are expected here. Söder had previously offered Bavaria’s support.
With regard to the Corona rules, the Council of Ministers still wants to implement opening decisions of a federal-state meeting in February and adjust the Corona Ordinance accordingly. Among other things, discotheques and clubs should be allowed to open again this Friday, probably under 2G plus conditions. In addition, the rules for gastronomy are to be relaxed: In addition to vaccinated and recovered people, people with a negative test should also be admitted here – in other words, the 3G rule should come back.
The seven-day incidence fell significantly in Bavaria on Wednesday. The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) gave the value of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants and week in the morning at around 1574, the day before it was 1684.

Ukraine conflict: Söder takes part in a large peace demonstration in Munich
Several thousand people and top politicians are expected to attend a demonstration against Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine on Wednesday evening (6 p.m.) in Munich. Markus Söder, President of the Landtag Ilse Aigner (both CSU) and Munich Mayor Dieter Reiter (SPD) want to speak at the rally on Königsplatz. Top representatives of the Greens, FDP and Free Voters also want to give speeches. In addition, the Left, ÖDP, the German Federation of Trade Unions and a few other associations and organizations called for the demonstration.
According to the SPD, which initiated the joint action, the consuls general of the USA and Ukraine are also expected. The parties are consciously setting a common signal against Russian aggression on political Ash Wednesday, which is otherwise characterized by party disputes and mutual insults. After the Russian invasion of Ukraine, all parties canceled the usual Ash Wednesday rallies at short notice. (tkip/dpa) *Merkur.de/bayern is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA
