Schwerin (dpa / mv) - Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania's designated new Interior Minister Torsten Renz (CDU) is to be sworn in on Friday in a special session of the state parliament.
He succeeds Lorenz Caffier (CDU) in office, who resigned last week after a controversial weapon purchase.
In addition, the state parliament wants to discuss the results of the federal-state switch planned on Wednesday on the corona restrictions from the beginning of December.
Prime Minister Manuela Schwesig (SPD) has announced a government statement on this.
An extension of the partial shutdown in Germany that has been in effect since the beginning of November is considered certain. There is no getting around an extension of the contact restrictions - these might even have to be tightened again, Schwesig said on Monday. If the protective measures were to be extended, this would also have to apply to economic aid.
