Oans, zwoa, gsuffa: The city of Munich is currently considering moving the Oktoberfest forward to prevent it from being canceled again due to the pandemic. The police do not understand this suggestion.
Munich – A possible move forward of the Oktoberfest in the summer has met with incomprehension at the German Police Union (DPolG) in Bavaria.
No other major event is planned in Bavaria in July, said the state chairman of the DPolG, Jürgen Köhnlein. “But it would also be the only phase in which around 30,000 police officers in the Free State could best bring in their remaining vacation from 2021, tons of overtime from this year’s missions and their annual vacation 2022 at the same time.”
The city of Munich is currently considering moving the Oktoberfest forward to prevent it from being canceled again due to the pandemic. The economic advisor and Wiesn boss Clemens Baumgärtner said on Tuesday that a working group of the city council groups would meet in the coming week to sound out the arguments. dpa
