Magdeburg (dpa / sa) - Top politicians from the Left and the FDP in Saxony-Anhalt have called for the state parliament to have more say before the next change to the Corona regulation in Saxony-Anhalt.

"Whenever the Chancellor and the Prime Minister put their heads together, the state parliament has to be called to a special session afterwards," said the incumbent FDP state chief Lydia Hüskens of the German press agency.

Since there are always several days between the deliberations of the heads of government and the adoption of new corona rules, such a special session does not mean a loss of time, she said.

The whole of Germany is in lockdown until at least February 14th in order to contain the spread of the corona virus.

On Tuesday, the state government wants to discuss how things could go afterwards, and one day later the heads of government from the federal and state levels switch to the topic.

Important restrictions on fundamental rights, such as those in the current lockdown, require public debate and must be discussed, explained and also corrected in the state parliament, said Lydia Hüskens.

She is pretty sure that the state parliament would have asked intensively what kind of benefit a 15-kilometer radius or a night curfew should bring for municipalities in super hotspots.

The Saxony-Anhalt FDP is not currently represented in the state parliament, but has two representatives in the Bundestag.

The left of parliamentary group leader Eva von Angern is different.

She also urges the elected representatives to have more influence, for example on such important issues as the vaccination sequence for risk and occupational groups.

It was a problem that the parliaments would be disempowered, said von Angern of the dpa and also criticized the members of the coalition factions CDU, SPD and Greens.

The Left had already submitted a motion for more parliamentary participation and the establishment of an advisory council months ago, which the coalition members, however, kept in the committees.

"Nothing happens there."

Other countries such as Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Schlewsig-Holstein are already further because they involve the parliamentary group leaders of all parties, whether government or opposition banks.
