Dresden (dpa / sn) - The Saxon state parliament is advising again today on protective measures in the corona pandemic.

The special meeting came about at the request of the AfD parliamentary group.

She put the only item on the agenda under the title "Ending the endless lockdown - offering citizens and companies a clear perspective".

The AfD had repeatedly called for an end to the lockdown in the past few weeks.

Many in the party consider the protective measures to be excessive.

In autumn 2020, the state parliament in Dresden met for a special session at the request of the AfD.

At that time, she rejected the Federal Infection Protection Act as a restriction on fundamental rights.

Saxony's Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer (CDU) will meanwhile discuss further measures in the corona pandemic with his country colleagues and Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) on Wednesday.

The corona lockdown with an extensive shutdown of public life is initially limited to March 7th.
