A general ban on firecrackers is not implemented in Berlin for the time being. The House of Representatives rejected a corresponding application by the Greens on Thursday, in which a year -round ban on sales for pyrotechnics was requested. This decision follows the devastating events of New Year's Eve, which ended with more than 400 injured and multi -million dollar damage. It is clear to the Greens: "A safe New Year's Eve is possible - people, animals and the environment protect against the annual Böllerwahnsinn", according to the title of their application. However, a majority of the CDU, SPD and AfD spoke out, on the other hand, which broke up again, as addressed by CDU interior expert Burkard Dregger and AfD politician Ronald glasses.

petitions for a ban on firecrackers

Against the background of this most recent decision, the German Environmental Aid (DUH) and the police (GDP) union (GDP) handed over more than 1,961,000 signatures for a nationwide ban on state to State Secretary Juliane Seifert. In this petition, a complete ban on pyrotechnics for private use is required to protect people, animals and the environment from the negative consequences of the annual firecrack. Jürgen Resch, Federal Managing Director of the DUH, said: "The firecracker on New Year's Eve causes immense damage. Suggestions such as import controls do not prevent any panic animals or harmful fine dust. Only with a general ban on firecrackers can the chaotic conditions be prevented." This requirement should not only contaminate the causation of injuries, but also facilitate the operations of the emergency services.

Despite the presentation of the signatures, the response from politics remains to be seen, while the DUH and supporters from 34 other organizations, such as the Federal Association of Animal Welfare, continue to fight for a safe New Year's Eve. They emphasize that a rethink is necessary and that a ban on firecrackers is the only solution to the dangers of pyrotechnics. "Germany is ready for a ban on pyrotechnics for private use," said Resch, while the political debate remains heated, as the numerous injuries on New Year's Eve.
