Actually, restaurateur Hans Becker wanted to open his bistro in Gmund am Tegernsee in protest against the Corona lockdown on Monday - now he does without it.

The right-wing scene wanted to use the action as a platform, and he wanted to distance himself from it, Becker said on Sunday in Munich.

“For God's sake no imperial flag in front of our café!” He never wanted to show solidarity with the right-wing scene and other “underground protesters”.

According to Becker, nationwide well-known initiators from the right-wing scene and corona deniers called for people to come to Gmund and demonstrate in front of the “Das Beckers” bistro.

"Their sometimes very confused views do not coincide with our attitudes", the restaurateur clarified in a written declaration.

In addition, there have been massive, personal insults.

The bistro operator is still dissatisfied with the Corona measures, even if he does not deny the existence of the virus by his own admission and also adheres to the hygiene and distance rules.

But the situation is catastrophic for local operators and other small businesses.

Many restaurants have invested a lot of money in hygiene measures in the belief that politicians will make the right decisions.

The current closings are not proportionate.

The announcement that the restaurant would open despite the lockdown had caused a stir in advance.

The police and the district office had sought to talk to the operator.

According to the catalog of fines, Becker would have threatened a fine of 5000 euros in the event of an opening, which he would not have wanted to pay.

“If in doubt, I will go to the European Court of Justice,” he had previously stated.

Due to the corona lockdown, restaurants and most of the shops are currently closed.

Most recently, a sporting goods retailer announced that it would open its stores on Monday.

However, after encouragement from the right-wing scene, he backed down.

A martial arts school in Bruckmühl in the Rosenheim district also wants to open on Monday.

The operators announced this on their website.

So more vaccine would not have prevented the lockdown

New Corona measures - such as the tightened contact restrictions and the restriction of the radius of movement in hotspots - are gradually coming into force.

The vaccination process, for which the Chancellor promises more speed, gives hope.
