sla Verzet tegen coronamaatregelen groeit in Duitsland: 'Aan ons is niks gevraagd' By nos.nl Published On :: Sat, 09 May 2020 06:20:58 +0200 In Duitsland groeit het verzet tegen de door de overheid opgelegde coronamaatregelen. Vandaag worden in Stuttgart bij de zevende 'Wake voor de grondwet' opnieuw duizenden mensen verwacht. Ook in Berlijn en andere steden wordt gedemonstreerd. Op steeds meer plekken worden demonstraties of acties aangemeld, ook het aantal deelnemers neemt toe. De actievoerders komen uit verschillende hoeken: antivaxers (tegenstanders van vaccinaties), linkse intellectuelen, bezorgde ondernemers, bekenden uit het extreemrechtse milieu, complotdenkers. Een ding hebben ze gemeen: ze wantrouwen de koers van de regering, ook nog nu er flinke versoepelingen zijn aangekondigd. Woensdag kondigde bondskanselier Merkel namelijk aan dat het land grotendeels van het slot zal gaan. De deelstaten hebben de regie bij de versoepelingen. Maar Merkel benadrukte wel dat bij een bepaald aantal besmettingen (50 per 100.000 inwoners) de maatregelen weer ingesteld moeten worden. In Berlijn zijn er zes weken op een rij wekelijkse demonstraties geweest op de Rosa Luxemburgplatz. "Het hele parlement, alle partijen, alle fracties hebben zich achter de koers van de regering geschaard", zegt initiatiefnemer Anselm Lenz. "Daarnaast lees je in de media bijna alleen maar dat het virus extreem gevaarlijk is en dat alle maatregelen die worden genomen terecht zijn." Volgens Lenz is het parlement praktisch "gleichgeschaltet", gelijkgeschakeld, een term die verwijst naar het uitsluiten van dissidente stemmen door de nazi's in de jaren dertig. "Wij vinden dat in Duitsland nooit meer het hele volk zich achter de regering moet scharen. Wij zijn de oppositie." Ook het harde optreden van de politie is volgens Lenz onwettig. Hij werd zelf opgepakt tijdens het uitdelen van verzetskranten: Maar voeren demonstranten dan alleen actie, zodat er oppositie is? Nee, zegt Lenz. Hij gelooft dat de Duitse regering de verkeerde strategie heeft gekozen. "Ik zeg niet dat dit virus niet gevaarlijk is. Dat is het wel. Maar de maatregelen zijn niet in verhouding." Wat nog erger is, volgens Lenz, is dat de bevolking niet heeft mogen meebeslissen. "Aan ons is niks gevraagd. Niet aan de ouderen of ze opgesloten willen worden, aan ouders of ze hun kinderen thuis willen houden, of aan mij of ik zo'n vernederend mondkapje op wil, ook al is de wetenschap het er nog niet eens over eens of dat helpt." Op de demonstraties in Berlijn en Stuttgart komen ook bekende rechtsextremisten en complotdenkers af. Voormalig journalist en radiopresentator Ken Jebsen valt in die laatste categorie. Ook Lenz interviewde hem voor zijn krant. Volgens Jebsen misbruiken Bill en Melinda Gates de coronacrisis om de wereld te 'kapen' en verplicht te laten inenten. Een theorie waarvoor geen enkel bewijs bestaat. Ziet hij er geen gevaar in zulke theorieën te verspreiden en met deze mensen ten strijde te trekken? SPD-partijsecretaris Lars Klingbeil waarschuwde in de Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung voor complotdenkers. "Die willen helemaal niet discussiëren over of het verstandig is de kinderopvang te sluiten of niet, mondkapjes te dragen ja of nee. Ze zijn er op uit om ons systeem te destabiliseren", zegt hij tegen de krant. Lenz ziet het gevaar niet zo. Discussie betekent niet dat hij het ermee eens is. "Als ik in deze tijden moet kiezen of ik een gesprek aan ga met Ken Jebsen, hoe freaky het ook is, of sluit ik me aan bij de totalitaire koers van de andere media, dan weet ik wel waarvoor ik kies." 'Querdenken' Jebsen is ook voor vandaag uitgenodigd bij de demonstratie in Stuttgart. Initiatiefnemer van de demo's in die stad is IT-ondernemer Michael Ballweg. Hij heeft de beweging Querdenken opgericht, omdat hij vindt dat de grondrechten te makkelijk en op te grote schaal zijn ingeperkt. Hij vocht het demonstratieverbod tot aan het Constitutioneel Hof aan, en kreeg gelijk. Op de laatste Querdenk-demo kwamen zeker 4000 demonstranten af. Voor vandaag heeft hij er 10.000 aangemeld. Ballweg reageert niet op onze interviewaanvragen. Op zijn website valt te lezen dat hij alleen met de pers praat als ze een uitgebreid formulier ondertekenen, waarin staat dat ze geen censuur toepassen. Het wantrouwen in de pers uitte zich bij eerdere demonstraties ook op een gewelddadige manier. In Berlijn zijn twee teams van de publieke omroep aangevallen. Zes mensen belandden daarbij in het ziekenhuis. Het is nog onbekend uit welke hoek de daders komen. Full Article
sla Wekdienst 9/5: Demonstraties in Duitsland • Benefiet in Caribisch deel koninkrijk By nos.nl Published On :: Sat, 09 May 2020 08:14:48 +0200 Goedemorgen! In Duitsland zijn er demonstraties tegen de coronamaatregelen in het land, en Jandino Asporaat organiseert een benefiet. Het wordt een overwegend zonnige dag. Met 20 tot lokaal 26 graden wordt het nog een stuk warmer dan in de afgelopen dagen. De noordoostenwind is zwak tot matig. Ga je vandaag de weg op? Hier vind je het overzicht van de werkzaamheden. Check hier de aangepaste dienstregeling voor het spoor. Wat kun je vandaag verwachten? Het is in Rusland de Dag van de Overwinning. Het is 75 jaar geleden dat het Rode Leger nazi-Duitsland versloeg. Vanwege de coronacrisis zijn er dit jaar geen militaire parade of veteranen op het Rode Plein. Wel vliegen er gevechtsvliegtuigen over Moskou. In Duitsland zijn in diverse steden demonstraties tegen de coronamaatregelen van de regering. Er worden duizenden deelnemers verwacht. Cabaretier Jandino Asporaat organiseert vanavond de live benefietshow Samen één Koninkrijk. De show, waarmee geld wordt ingezameld voor inwoners van Curaçao, Aruba en Sint-Maarten, is direct na het NOS Journaal van 20.00 uur te volgen op NPO 1. Wat heb je gemist? Verpleeghuizen hebben sinds begin maart al geprobeerd hun personeel te laten testen op het coronavirus, maar werden geweigerd door laboratoria, terwijl die soms voldoende testcapaciteit hadden. Zelfs toen half maart bezoek aan verpleeghuizen werd verboden vanwege besmettingsgevaar, werd het personeel niet getest. De tests werden geweigerd omdat onduidelijk was waar in Nederland er beschikbare capaciteit was. Het grootste laboratorium van Nederland, Star-shl, had naar eigen zeggen wel capaciteit, maar weigerde aanvankelijk verpleeghuizen, omdat het RIVM dit voorschreef. "Marktwerking leidde de afgelopen tien jaar tot een wildgroei aan laboratoria", schrijft Trouw, dat samen met Argos en De Groene Amsterdammer het journalistieke onderzoeksplatform Investico inschakelde om het nieuws over de tests te achterhalen. "Waar voorheen één of twee labs per regio waren, zijn er nu landelijk ruim honderd. Volgens GGD'ers en arts-microbiologen is het overzicht zoek." Ander nieuws uit de nacht Entertainer Roy Horn (Siegfried & Roy) overleden in Las Vegas: Horn (75), die overleed aan het coronavirus, werd wereldberoemd met de extravagante leeuwen- en tijgershows die hij jarenlang met partner Siegfried Fischbacher maakte. Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine maakt grootse comeback na vervroegde vrijlating: toen bekend werd dat 6ix9ine zou gaan getuigen in een zaak over bendegeweld, werd hij het lachertje van de rapscene. Maar online werd de hype steeds groter naarmate zijn comeback naderde. KNVB-plan voor oefenwedstrijden in augustus biedt FC Utrecht hoop: de bekerfinale tussen Feyenoord en FC Utrecht is door de coronapandemie van de agenda gehaald. Utrecht hoopt alsnog op doorgang: de bekerwinnaar verdient een ticket voor Europees voetbal. En dan nog even dit: In Nederland is een vulkaan ontdekt. Het gaat om een 150 miljoen jaar oude uitgedoofde vulkaan. Hij ligt 100 kilometer ten noordwesten van Texel, en is bij toeval door de Geologische Dienst Nederland gevonden. De nieuwe vulkaan is Mulciber genoemd, naar de Romeinse God van vuur en vulkanen. De diep begraven Mulciber werd herkend aan afwijkingen in de structuur van de ondergrond en het aardmagnetisch veld op die plek. De vulkaan is de tweede van Nederland.
