Munich (dpa / lby) - At the official end of the 2020 session in the Bavarian state parliament, Parliamentary President Ilse Aigner (CSU) called on people to persevere in the Corona crisis.
Overcoming the crisis will remain the focus in 2021, she said in her closing remarks on Friday before the winter break.
"It is still a difficult path, but we have hope that an end is in sight."
As planned, the state parliament will no longer meet this year, but due to the corona situation, special sessions are not excluded.
Before every infection protection ordinance comes into force, Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) gives a government statement in parliament.
In 2020 there have been seven of them so far.
Aigner used her speech to warn of the dangers of conspiracy theories for democracy as well.
For this reason, it is important and correct that the state parliament discusses the government's corona measures transparently and brings the debates “from the street to parliament”.
This must continue in the coming year.
«Let's talk and argue about the political answers.
But my most urgent request is: let us do it appropriately, with decency and empathy ».

The leader of the Green Group, Katharina Schulze, also urged society to stick together.
"Some people think it doesn't matter what I do, that doesn't matter."
But that's not how society works.
Restricting one's own contacts not only protects you, but everyone.
Vice Prime Minister Hubert Aiwanger (Free Voters) emphasized that it was also the task of politics to spread confidence.
Despite the crisis, Bavaria is not doing as badly economically as is often portrayed.
As examples, he cited the auto industry, which ended up selling 13 percent more cars in 2020, and the trades.
At the same time, Aiwanger also warned of envy debates about the Corona aid among various professional groups.
"We have to keep an eye on that."
