Berlin (dpa) - According to CSU General Secretary Markus Blume, Bavaria is only in favor of bringing the Prime Minister's Conference (MPK) forward to this week if all federal states are generally ready to tighten the applicable Corona rules.
On Monday evening, in a political talk on “The right questions” on “Bild live”, Blume said: “A new MPK is of no use if everyone is doing their own thing again.
It is therefore very important that the federal states are ready to take further measures. "
In this way, Blume responded to the proposal of the North Rhine-Westphalian Prime Minister Armin Laschet to decide on a quick and hard "bridge lockdown" in the fight against the corona virus.
This should bridge the time until many people have been vaccinated, the CDU leader demanded on Easter Monday in Aachen.
He therefore wants to bring forward the round of Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) and the Prime Minister planned for April 12th to the next few days.
The CSU is ready to do so, but that is not the case everywhere, said Blume.
Some even want to declare their entire country to be a model region with openings, he criticized with a view to the Saarland, which wants to start exiting the lockdown this Tuesday.
"A corona lockdown messing around, as we experienced at the last MPK with hours of meetings, and after that you part, and everyone does different things, that can't be the way."

SPD health expert Karl Lauterbach was also skeptical about an early Prime Minister's conference: as long as individual federal states barred from exit restrictions, a new meeting would be of no use, he said on “Bild live”.
