German court overturns regional government’s travel ban

By 897 0

The Greifswald Higher Court situated in the eastern part of Germany has found the regional government’s travel ban as disproportionate in curbing people’s local freedom.

The court has ordered that locals in that region can go to the popular Baltic coast this Easter weekend.

The ruling means despite the coronavirus lockdown the locals in this part of Germany can spent this Eater weekend on beaches.

Notably, the Germans from other regions lacks this freedom.

Interestingly, the Mecklenburg-West Pomerania government has not challenged the decision made by the top court of the region.

It is yet to be seen whether other less affected regions will follow the step taken by this state in this matter in the future.

Anyway, the locals of the region have been advised to stay 2m apart to reduce the threat of the spread of the virus.

Lockdowns are in force across Germany, but the restrictions vary from state to state. The toughest measures have been imposed in Bavaria and the Saarland.

The number of infections in Germany is over 1,18,000 cases and the total death toll is more than 2,600.

Fortunately, the rate is far lower than Italy, Spain and the UK.

North-South divide deepens in Europe; FMs’ talk fails to bear any fruit

By 902 0

A talk convened for European Union finance ministers on how to help those European countries badly affected by the coronavirus epidemic – especially those in the southern region of the continent – have collapsed in the last moment.

As per a latest statement made by the European Central Bank, the European Union may need up to €1.5tn to tackle the crisis.

The talk has stalled as a severe dispute has emerged between the Southern European country of Italy and the Northern European country of the Netherlands – which is comparatively less affected by the epidemic – over how to apply the recovery fund.

As per a latest report, the negotiation process is likely to resume in few hours, as the EU is keen to find a solution to the issue as early as possible.

Earlier, a senior European minister expressed his doubt about the longevity of the economic union. He warned of serious consequences.

The union has not yet responded to any criticism. It has recently reaffirmed its commitment towards its member countries, saying that it would come up with the solution to the present crisis soon.

Whether this crisis will lead to the collapse of the decades-old union is yet to be seen.

ECJ pulls up Poland, Hungary and Czech Republic over refugee issue

By 981 0

The European Court of Justice has pulled up Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic as It has found these countries have failed to respect the EU law as it has not taken in refugees under an agreement reached by the EU leaders to ease the burden faced by Italy and Greece.

The agreement was supposed to benefit 160,000 refugees – especially those from the embattled country of Syria, and was supposed to bring a huge relief to overcrowded camps in Italy and Greece.

Now, the EU Commission is free to impose fines over these countries for the crimes they have committed by disrespecting the EU law.

The court has declined to accept these countries’ argument that the acceptance of refugees would create huge security issues in their country.

So far, the Czech Republic has accepted not more than 12 of the 2,000 refugees it had been asked to take in, while Hungary and Poland have not taken in a single person yet.

Father Berardelli: The True Symbol of Humanity

By 984 0

An Italian priest, Father Giuseppe Berardelli, is the talk of the day. Though he is not more in this world, his story of humanity continues in the heart of human forever.

Had he not given the respirator, purchased for him by his parishioners, to a patient, much younger than him, he might have escaped from the clutches of death.

In reality, with his divine act, what he did is a noble contribution. That young life he saved is enough to show the world the relevance of empathy.

People like Father Berardelli are what that prompts us to defy the theories prompt us to look for God in certain celestial regions – and what that encourages us to believe in the theory that advises us to look for God in those who care for others.

In this hard time, stories like this are to be given greater importance to enrich the world with confidence and hope.

Whatever harder the present is there is a beautiful future ahead.
