2G rule at all events
Carnival in Cologne – the fifth season. For many jokes a highlight of the year and that despite the increasing corona numbers. The 2G rules apply to all carnival events, so only vaccinated and Genesis people are allowed in. The rules also apply outside – but the network is still shocked at these pictures, which you can see in the video below. Frank Ulrich Montgomery, the chairman of the World Medical Association, is currently critical of the general idea of freedom, as he said in the RTL interview: “This is the freedom to get sick and die and not the freedom to live that we actually need and want.” You can see his blazing appeal in the video above.
Public order office controls entrances
A dozen people huddled close together. Celebrate, sing and enjoy the start of the carnival. For many people, these images cause incomprehension. The incidences are rising and many cannot understand that Carnival is still celebrated this way.
The Cologne Public Order Office is said to have checked the entrances to make sure that all celebrants have 2G proof. At a press conference in the afternoon, Cologne’s Lord Mayor Henriette Reker tried to explain the celebrations: “We weighed it up carefully. We have very different framework conditions today than on November 11th last year. A large number of people have been vaccinated, and that’s exactly what we’re allowing onto the event areas .
Reker: “November 11th is a tradition in Cologne”
In addition, Reker explained: “We have 2G, other cities like Bonn don’t have that. November 11th is part of our tradition in Cologne. You can’t forbid people to enjoy November 11th appropriately and with the greatest responsibility. Something else will happen people no longer put up with it. A complete ban might not have been legally possible. “
