Berlin (dpa / bb) - Berlin's Senator for Culture and Mayor Klaus Lederer (left) has spoken out in favor of further restrictions on the economy against the background of the ongoing corona pandemic.
The current debate about even more consistent measures than before is basically correct, said Lederer at the Left State Party Conference on Saturday in Berlin.
"But I think Bodo Ramelow is absolutely right when he says we have to shut down the economy now to reduce contacts."
Thuringia's Prime Minister Ramelow (left) had triggered a discussion last week with his call for a hard lockdown for significantly more economic sectors.
Lederer said that economic constraints shouldn't outweigh human lives.
“Only then does the motto“ We stay at home ”regain persuasiveness.
It can't be that three people in a public park are a social scandal and 300 people in a meat factory are a private matter. "
On Tuesday, the federal and state governments want to advise on possible tightening of the corona measures.
At the Left Party Congress, elections for a new state executive were planned on Saturday afternoon.
State chairwoman Katina Schubert stood for election again.
Because of the corona pandemic, the party congress will take place largely online for the first time.
However, for legal reasons, voting is not possible online.
The delegates have to head for one of the polling stations.
The election result was expected in the early evening.
