The former chairman of the German Association of Judges, Jens Gnisa, is outraged by the Federal Government's plans to tighten the Infection Protection Act in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.
“You seldom see me stunned.
But now the time has come.
The federal government is shooting well beyond all proportionality limits, ”wrote the director of the Bielefeld District Court on Facebook on Saturday.
The proposals are no longer about a bridge lockdown of two or three weeks, but about a "permanent lockdown that can no longer be captured," he complained.
Gnisa called it a “disregard of the judiciary” if night curfews had to be imposed within seven days of 100 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants - although the courts had questioned their effectiveness.
In his view, the strict contact restrictions are also legally dubious.
"For me, banning parents from meeting their children with an incidence of 100 or more does not correspond to the image of the Basic Law."
In the wording aid, which is available to the German Press Agency and which was sent to parliamentary groups and states on Saturday, the federal government proposes several measures for districts with an incidence of over 100.
Only private meetings of a household with one other person and of a maximum of five people would be permitted;
Children don't count.
Exit restrictions are proposed from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.

Gnisa wrote that state corona restrictions should not only be based on the registered infections.
"To focus solely on the incidence is arbitrary with such drastic measures, because the pure incidence depends on how much is tested."
