Bitburg (dpa / lrs) - Bitburg-Prüm District Administrator Joachim Streit wants to take the federal government's Corona emergency brake to the highest German court.
The future Rhineland-Palatinate parliamentary group leader of the Free Voters will file a constitutional complaint with the Federal Constitutional Court on behalf of the federal unification of his party after the emergency brake has been passed, said on Wednesday.
The Free Voters wanted to provide details on Thursday (April 22nd) in Berlin with their Federal Chairman Hubert Aiwanger.
Streit had been considering the move for some time.
At the same time, the Free Voters in Rhineland-Palatinate criticized the fact that the local red-yellow-green state government wanted to approve the emergency brake against the convictions of Vice Prime Minister Volker Wissing (FDP) in the Federal Council. However, Wissing made it clear on Wednesday that Rhineland-Palatinate would abstain from voting due to a lack of unity in the traffic light coalition in the Federal Council.
Aiwanger explained with a view to the planned new corona regulations: “These general interventions in civil liberties and the economy are too undifferentiated.
It can also be done less radically. "
Streit added: "The district administrators as heads of the health authorities have a better view of the situation and the measures that are necessary on site."
This competence must continue to be used.
"The distant and theoretical view of Berlin is not enough for this."
The district administrator complained: "The plans from Berlin have nothing to do with reality, do not contribute to reducing the incidence and disturb people."

The FDP also wants to lodge a constitutional complaint against the exit restrictions of the emergency brake.
The brake is intended to establish binding nationwide rules for stricter corona countermeasures in the event of high numbers of infections.
These include exit restrictions from 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m., school closings, and stricter rules for businesses.
The emergency brake should be pulled if the number of reported new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in a district or a city is over 100 for three consecutive days within seven days.
A higher threshold of 165 should apply for switching to distance learning in schools.
The changes to the Infection Protection Act should go to the Federal Council this Thursday and come into force quickly - initially by the end of June.
