Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) is behind Merkel's decision.
“I have personal respect for the Chancellor's statement.
In the end it is better to clear it up now if it is not legally possible, ”he said, according to participants at the switchboard.
Ultimately, the procedures are "also part of the problem".
Söder also pointed out that the responsible ministries had been asked on the night of the Prime Minister's Conference whether the implementation of the so-called Easter rest was legally possible.
Government survey should take place as planned
Above all, displeasure was sparked by the fact that after the hours of corona consultations on Tuesday night, the implementation of central resolutions was still open.
After the massive criticism of the Easter resolutions of the Bund-Länder-Round at the beginning of the week, Merkel had again scheduled consultations with the Prime Ministers of the Länder on Wednesday at 11 a.m. at short notice.
The government survey planned in the Bundestag with the Chancellor in the afternoon should take place as planned.
