Bavaria: Energy crisis and Corona autumn: football debate with Herrmann

Munich (dpa/lby) - Against the background of the energy crisis and the effects of the corona virus in autumn, the President of the Bavarian Football Association, Christoph Kern, exchanged views with the Bavarian Minister of the Interior, Joachim Herrmann (CSU). The President of the Bavarian State Sports Association, Jörg Ammon, also took part in the meeting on the sidelines of the European Championships in Munich.

"We all talk every day about the horrendous energy price increases that are coming our way - this also affects our clubs. Crop damage can only be prevented here if politicians set the right course," Kern explained in a statement on Tuesday. "The rude awakening in our clubs will only become tangible in a few months, when the energy bills actually end up in the mailboxes - that's why it's now important to work out solutions together."

Kern praised the meeting with Bavaria's department head as "absolutely open and honest". As Minister of the Interior, Herrmann is also responsible for sport in the Free State.
