First report, August 10, 10:33 a.m .: The MPK begins in two hours. The topic will be nothing less than the further Corona * strategy for autumn. The willingness to vaccinate in Germany is slowly flattening out, the first vaccination centers are already stopping the service due to insufficient demand. * According to Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder *, a clear distinction must be made between those who have been vaccinated and those who have not been vaccinated. By around October every citizen is said to have been given a vaccination offer. According to Söder, those who do not take advantage of this offer will have to bear the consequences.
Announcement in the morning: Söder wants to hold unvaccinated people responsible
For example, corona tests are to be charged for voluntarily unvaccinated people. In the morning, the CSU * boss told Bayerischer Rundfunk : “Anyone who does not get vaccinated bears responsibility, and that also means that taxpayers cannot assume all of the costs. And then you have to pay for it yourself. ”Söder also spoke out in favor of relaxation for people who have already been vaccinated at Bayerischer Rundfunk , because:“ Anyone who is vaccinated does not pose a risk, so constitutionally it is mandatory to give them back their basic rights. ”
Corona summit: Söder and Aiwanger disagree on free tests
The dispute between Markus Söder and his deputy Hubert Aiwanger continues here as well. Because the free voters in Bavaria want to keep the free tests for everyone for the time being. “A debate about chargeable tests is currently not expedient, since testing, in addition to vaccinations, mask and distance, is still a central element of the fight against corona,” said Free Voter Party leader Aiwanger of the Augsburger Allgemeine . * Merkur.de / bayern is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA
