Berlin (dpa / bb) - Berlin's governing mayor Michael Müller (SPD) has expressed reluctance to demands that the horticultural stores in the capital be reopened quickly during the corona crisis.
"In any case, we want to wait for the Prime Minister's Conference first and then see what we can trust ourselves based on our development of infection through Senate and Parliamentary resolutions," said Müller of the German Press Agency.
“I am still promoting this level-headed Berlin route, but I have to accept if other federal states want to make faster offers.
It remains a process of weighing up. "
In Brandenburg, garden centers are allowed to reopen after being closed for more than two months due to the corona pandemic.
They are still closed in Berlin, where they can only be picked up after ordering by telephone.
The trade association Berlin-Brandenburg and the FDP called for a rapid opening of the markets in Berlin as well.
"It is absolutely incomprehensible that Berlin is creating chains for itself," said Nils Busch-Petersen, the general manager of the trade association.
"We don't have time for ideological discussions; companies are dying."
Not only hardware stores lost in business with spring flowers and bulbs, but also owner-managed garden centers and nurseries as well as flower shops.
