German Bundestag Cancels Session Week from November 25 to 29
Berlin, Germany – November 15, 2024 – The German Bundestag has decided to cancel its session week scheduled for November 25 to 29, 2024. This decision was taken due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the need to prioritize public health.
The Bundestag’s decision was announced by its President, Bärbel Bas. She stated that the situation surrounding the pandemic was still too uncertain to hold the session week as planned.
“The health and safety of our members and staff is our top priority,” Bas said. “We have therefore decided to cancel the session week to allow for more time to assess the situation.”
The cancellation of the session week means that no legislative or parliamentary work will be conducted during that time. The Bundestag will resume its work on December 4, 2024.
The decision to cancel the session week has been met with mixed reactions. Some members of the Bundestag have expressed disappointment, arguing that it will delay important decisions. Others have welcomed the decision, saying it is necessary to prioritize public health.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the German Bundestag. In March 2020, the Bundestag suspended its work for several weeks as part of efforts to contain the spread of the virus. The Bundestag has since resumed its work, but with strict health and safety measures in place.
The Bundestag is the lower house of the German parliament. It is composed of 736 members who are elected by the German people. The Bundestag is responsible for passing laws and overseeing the government.
