Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - Actually, the state parliament regularly meets for special sessions after the federal-state switch, so that Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann (Greens) can explain the latest decisions in the fight against the pandemic to the parliamentarians and answer questions.
On Wednesday morning it was that time again.
However, the head of government got into a tight schedule.
Since the resolutions of the meeting of the country chiefs with the Chancellor on Tuesday night met with massive criticism and many questions were unanswered, Angela Merkel (CDU) called again at short notice at the same time with the Prime Minister.
Because he did not want to be represented in the Merkel register, Kretschmann had to leave the state parliament early.
It was not all in the dry cloths yet, he justified the change in his schedule.
But his deputy, Deputy Prime Minister Thomas Strobl (CDU), remains in parliament.
And he assured the MPs: "I promise that I will read their minutes."
If the detention switch should only last roughly as long as the session on Tuesday night - around 15 hours - then another date for Kretschmann is likely to be postponed.
The Prime Minister actually wanted to start the next exploratory round on forming a government on Wednesday.
A conversation with the FDP about a possible traffic light coalition was planned at 4 p.m.
