Krings demands sharper punishments against airport blocks to protect the passengers

Airport blockades: A wake -up call for the legal situation

Berlin (ots)

Recently, airport blocks have been employing the public and raising central questions about security in air traffic. These actions not only disturb travel, but also endanger the health and life of people who rely on fast rescue operations.

The dangers of airport blocks

The blockades cross travel plans from thousands of passengers. It becomes particularly dramatic when air traffic is interrupted. Rescue flyers must look for alternative landing options, which can result in catastrophic consequences in emergencies. In such situations, it quickly becomes clear how important a reliable and safe air traffic is.

political echo and legislative reactions

The legal policy spokesman for the CDU/CSU parliamentary group, Günter Krings , emphasizes the need to tighten the existing laws. He criticizes the current draft law of the federal government as inadequate and as a "foggy pack". The punishments provide for a maximum of two years of imprisonment or fines, which appear to be unreasonable. Krings demands a significantly increased minimum penalty to deter potential perpetrators.

need for action for airports and passengers

Another dimension of the problem is the civil law consequences for the perpetrators. Krings recommends airport operators to have the claims of the passengers concerned. This procedure could make it possible to collect money compensation more effectively, even years after punishing the polluters. So the blockers stay on their financial burdens, even if they have served their punishment.

social responsibility and political obligation

The discussion about airport blocks is a reminder to society to actively deal with the topic of regulation of aviation. The CDU/CSU underlines its responsibility to stand up for an action -capable constitutional state and at the same time protect the interests of the citizens. The faction led by Friedrich Merz calls on not only to respond to the effects, but also on the reasons for such protests.

Overall, airport blocks are a serious problem that not only has legal but also social implications. The need for a reform of legislation can no longer be ignored, especially at a time when the maintenance of public order and security should be in the top priority.
