Berlin, Apr 21 (EFE).- Lawmakers in Germany’s lower chamber of parliament, the Bundestag, on Wednesday approved a bill that would allow the central government override regional authorities to implement Covid-19 health and safety restrictions.
The bill now goes to the Bundesrat, the upper house. If passed, it could come into effect on Saturday.
Germany’s ruling grand coalition between Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union, its Bavarian sister party, the CSU, and the center-left Social Democratic Party pushed it through the chamber.
The opposition Greens legislators abstained as they considered the measures have fallen short and should have been adopted earlier.
